Eliminating Crusted Scabies from the Northern Territory’s remote Indigenous communities Scratching the Surface

One Disease is a non-profit organisation with a core mission of eliminating Crusted Scabies as a public health concern in the Northern Territory.
 
Scabies underlies many skin infections in the NT’s remote indigenous communities. These infections  can in turn lead to sepsis, Acute Rheumatic Fever, Rheumatic Heart Disease, and chronic kidney disease
 
This Podcast series - ‘Scratching the Surface - the Scabies Story’ is part of One Disease’s commitment to provide Scabies and Crusted Scabies education to health services in both remote communities and urban settings.
 
In this episode, our guests are Michelle Dowden CEO of One Disease and community worker Genevieve Dodds. They discuss the strategies, successes and challenges associated with working toward achieving One Disease’s ambitious goal in remote communities
 
Your hosts in Darwin’s ‘Studio G’ are Brad Firebrace from Skinnyfish Music and One Disease’s Geoffrey ‘Jacko’ Angeles.
