Abstract

1 min read

Skin diseases are listed among the most common health issues in refugee camps, yet the lack of skilled professionals, scarce diagnostics and formularies lead to inadequate provision of care for these people. This perspective highlights the possible role of dermatologists in escalating dermatological care to migrants and displaced persons in humanitarian crises.
