The gendered impact of Buruli ulcer on the household production of health and social support networks: Why decentralization favors women

ConclusionThis study illustrates the importance of decentralized treatment programs for NTDs such as BU. Such programs enable patients to remain in their homes while being treated, and do not displace women responsible for the welfare of the entire household. When women are displaced the well-being of the entire household is placed in jeopardy.
