How is this project different from those of other organizations that deal with Buruli ulcer, such as Leprahilfe or the World Health Organization (WHO)?
Unlike the institutions/projects mentioned, “Stop Buruli” is purely a research project that strives to make a significant contribution on being able to control the disease with the expected results. The project thus ideally complements existing activities, which focus more on the direct care of patients already infected and on strengthening state healthcare systems, as well as on monitoring and statistically measuring the disease. “Stop Buruli” is financially supported by an independent foundation. This allows the research consortium to act in a flexible, goal-oriented, efficient and effective manner.
