Why donate?
Psoriasis in Australia is a prevalent disease with debilitating life long effects and early diagnosis and treatment is vital. As General Practitioners are not trained in dermatology, people who suffer with psoriasis are currently at risk of being undiagnosed, or only being diagnosed when co-morbidity factors set in that grossly affect autoimmune function.
Australians with psoriasis are a largely hidden community who are grossly under funded and almost unknown despite the numbers of people who surface with the disease and then suffer for the rest of their entire lives.
With greater awareness and early diagnosis, psoriasis sufferers face a far less grim landscape, one in which the condition is de-stigmatised, where treatment is given earlier and is more effective and where lives are improved and saved from graver autoimmune complications.
Your donation is crucial in fulfilling the essential need to raise awareness within the general and medical community and provide better access to early diagnosis, support and affordable, effective treatments.
