Buruli ulcer is an endemic disease in Côte d'Ivoire. Considered as a Neglected Tropical Disease (#NTD), it affects the skin and can lead to severe disabilities. In Côte d'Ivoire, scientists from the research consortium Afrique One have found a way  to accelerate the healing. This way consists in the integration of nutrition (orange sweet potato and soya) in the patient care.
