The Mycetoma Research Center was established in 1991 under the umbrella of the University of Khartoum. It was set up at Soba University Hospital to provide medical care for mycetoma patients, research and education and teaching in the various aspects of mycetoma.[1]
Mycetoma is a common health problem, endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions and reported throughout the globe.[2]
History
The center was established in 1991 as a subsidiary of the University of Khartoum. Its offices were destroyed during the Sudanese civil war (2023–present), with the facility's director, Ahmed Fahal, adding that its biological banks, containing more than 40 years' worth of data, were lost.[3] Prior to its destruction, the facility received 12,000 patients annually and provided free treatment to 9,000 patients.[4]
Research Programmes
The research programmes and projects carried out in the Center are of a multidisciplinary approach focusing on basic research into the causes and progression of Mycetoma, the translation of new knowledge and technology into novel treatments and the provision of patient care.
