People with eczema often suffer in silence. As a result, they may have poor access to the healthcare they need to improve their quality of life.
Want to get involved? One of the most powerful tools for change is our stories. By raising your voice, you can help ESC inform the general public, government, and drug plan payers (both private and public) about the burden of this condition, current gaps in care, and needs of our patient community.
If decision-makers have more knowledge and awareness about eczema and atopic dermatitis, they can make better decisions that will impact and improve our lives.
Raise your voice with ESC and contact us today to get involved.
It’s your right to contact and meet or write to your elected official. It’s their responsibility to represent you and your issues! Call, email, or meet with your elected official to help the government understand the needs of eczema patients.
To find your local representative, email us at info@eczemahelp.ca
