Among them are scientists researching and treating mycetoma, a rare but devastating fungal disease. The Mycetoma Research Centre (MRC) in Khartoum was unique and worked in partnership with several companies and organisations, including the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative. Today, doctors are appealing for help to rebuild the partially destroyed centre. FRANCE 24's Shirli Sitbon spoke with the MRC's director, Professor Ahmed Hassan Fahal.
