🇳🇬 Noma disease devastating children in northern NigeriaNoma, a rapidly progressing and often fatal facial infection, continues to affect young children in northern Nigeria, particularly those aged 2 to 6 living in impoverished communities.The disease begins as gum inflammation in malnourished children exposed to polluted environments, then rapidly spreads to destroy soft tissues and bone. It disproportionately strikes the poorest communities, where malnutrition and poor sanitation create conditions for the infection to take hold.Noma is classified as a neglected disease, meaning it receives limited global health attention and resources despite its severity and the scale of suffering it causes among vulnerable children.SourceNairaland Pulse | News
