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.
This episode sees Professor Bart Currie from Menzies School of Health Research and Royal Darwin Hospital return for an encore performance. This time around, Bart discusses current treatment strategies as well as measures taken by The World Health Organisation and the NT Government that assist in achieving One Disease’s elimination goal.
Your hosts in Darwin’s ‘Studio G’ are Brad Firebrace from Skinnyfish Music and One Disease’s Geoffrey ‘Jacko’ Angeles.
