Fantastic to learn about #mycetoma at today's #ISNTDConnect webinar, from distribution & presentation to treatment, & the future of #Research. W/ the ban of ketocozanole, Eumycetoma became virtually untreatable. So what can the #BeatNTDs community do? #SkinNTDs https://t.co/SaZKHyAG4Z https://t.co/nP10xU2tY0
