Prevention & Control of Noma in Nigeria
Dr. Priscilla Benner and Dr. Cyril Enwonwu traveled to Nigeria this spring (2009) to meet with government officials and others interested in the prevention of noma ulcer and nutritional blindness.  We are expecting to open our office in Nigeria the coming year and begin work soon.
 
Take a look at the presentation in the link below to learn more about MAMA Nigeria.  Be forewarned that some of the pictures are graphic, as noma is a nasty infection.  You may not want to allow children to see these pictures.  Also, take some time to scan through our other documents at the bottom of this page.
