Additional Information / Shotlist Living in isolated and extremely poor places, noma patients are difficult to find. For some of them, reaching a clinic or hospital is almost impossible because they are usually located hundreds of kilometres away. Even people who can access treatment sometimes don’t have the money to pay for medical care in their local clinics.
