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 for equitable healthcare and fostering partnerships to improve skin health outcomes for Indigenous peoples.

Skin health disparities remain a critical issue in Indigenous communities across Canada, driven by systemic barriers, limited access to dermatological care, and a lack of culturally competent services. Some of the key priorities in this space, include, but are not limited to:

  • Improving Access to Care: Championing tangible solutions that bring quality dermatology services directly into Indigenous communities.

  • Enhancing Education and Awareness: Delivering skin health education that is culturally safe, relevant, and community-informed.

  • Supporting Indigenous-Led Solutions: Collaborating with Indigenous health leaders and organizations to co-create resources and strengthen care pathways.

We are deeply committed to supporting Indigenous voices lead this work - building trust, advancing equity, and driving lasting impact.

Join us in breaking down barriers and creating a future where all communities have access to the skin health care they deserve.
