Attending this online training course on mycetoma is crucial for various reasons. Participants will learn about mycetoma epidemiology, including prevalence, distribution, and influencing factors. They will also understand the underlying causes and mechanisms leading to mycetoma development. The course enables the acquisition of skills to identify and diagnose mycetoma based on clinical manifestations and laboratory techniques, enhancing the ability to distinguish it from similar conditions.
Moreover, participants will master effective strategies for managing mycetoma patients acquiring practical skills in medical and surgical interventions. Understanding the principles of mycetoma prevention, including insights into preventive measures and public health strategies, is emphasized.
The learning outcome focuses on participants developing the competence to independently manage and treat mycetoma patients with a comprehensive understanding of the holistic approach required for patient care, including follow-up and monitoring.
Overall, this training equips healthcare professionals to significantly contribute to the mycetoma field, making informed decisions and providing quality care.

Mycetoma is marked by devastating deformities, disability, and significant morbidity, profoundly impacting patients, families, communities, and health authorities in endemic regions. Despite its designation as an NTD by the WHO in 2016, global attention remains inadequate, leading to substantial knowledge gaps across various aspects of mycetoma. Pharmacists, burdened with heavy workloads and lacking sufficient time and resources, face challenges in acquiring adequate knowledge about mycetoma. Therefore, the development of an online training module is imperative.
This online training initiative aims to enhance pharmacists' understanding of mycetoma, covering aspects such as its management, treatment gaps, drug development, clinical trials, and clinical pharmacy perspectives. The module seeks to enhance participants' pharmacy practice, ultimately raising awareness among pharmacists and improving patient outcomes. Aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal No. 3, which prioritises health and well-being, the module contributes to the overarching goal of enhancing the quality of life for all mycetoma-affected populations and achieving zero mycetoma cases worldwide.
By providing comprehensive education and empowerment to pharmacists, this module strives to catalyse a transformative response to mycetoma within the pharmacist community.
