Bridging the Disease Awareness and Access to Care Gaps in Dermatology

Skin diseases constitute the fourth most common form of all human diseases, affecting one-third of the world’s population. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, prevalence trend of skin diseases including Atopic Dermatitis (AD), Alopecia Areata (AA), and Vitiligo is on a rise. These skin diseases impact all aspects of the lives of affected patients and have a detrimental effect on the social life and the psychological well-being - of not only patients but also caregivers and family members; however, awareness of these diseases among patients, primary care practitioners and payers remains suboptimal. With new advances in dermatology, there is a compelling need to understand and reflect on dermatology in the country.

Our whitepaper outlines key initiatives aimed at increasing awareness among stakeholders, identifying unmet needs in treatment pathways, and addressing access barriers to innovative treatments for skin diseases in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
