Short version of the documentary 'Restoring Dignity', by the French filmmakers Claire Jeantet and Fabrice Catérini, produced by Inediz in collaboration with MSF. The film follows the journey of noma survivors from different regions across Nigeria over the course of a year. Some of them are children, like little Sakina, some are teenagers like Amina, and others are adults who have lived for decades with the terrible physical and psychological consequences of this disease, like Mulikat.

Since 2014, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) supports the Noma Children Hospital in Sokoto, northwest Nigeria, the only fully dedicated to Noma hospital in the world. The programme, run in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, focuses on community outreach, active case finding in the region, health promotion, mental health support and surgery. Four times per year, MSF sends high profile plastic and maxillofacial surgeons, nurses and anaesthesiologist to perform surgeries to the patients with Noma. In 2018, our teams performed 150 surgeries on 117 patients, as well as providing mental healthcare services and community outreach, surveillance, awareness-raising and health promotion.
