Addressing Gaps for Indigenous Skin Health

Many Indigenous communities in Canada face significant challenges in accessing dermatological care, leading to delayed diagnoses and untreated skin conditions. At Dermatology Awareness Group - Canada, we are committed to raising awareness, advocating for equitable healthcare, and fostering partnerships to improve skin health outcomes for Indigenous peoples.

Skin health disparities persist among Indigenous communities in Canada due to systemic barriers, lack of culturally competent care, and limited access to dermatological specialists. As part of The 2025 Skin Mission, Dermatology Awareness Group - Canada is launching a dedicated initiative to:

  • Improve Access to Care: Advocating for better dermatology services in Indigenous communities through tangible solutions.

  • Enhance Education & Awareness: Providing culturally relevant skin health education tailored to Indigenous communities.

  • Support Indigenous-Led Solutions: Partnering with Indigenous health leaders and organizations to co-develop resources and improve patient pathways.

We’re committed to ensuring that Indigenous voices guide this work, fostering trust and delivering real impact. Join us in breaking barriers and improving skin health equity across Indigenous communities.
