Description
In this episode, Prof. Michael Marks, Chair of the International Alliance for the Control of Scabies, is joined by medical doctor and researcher Romain Blaizot to delve into a recently published paper on scabies. They explore the challenges of treating scabies in diverse territories and communities, focusing on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices linked to treatment failures.
The discussion covers factors driving treatment failures in French Guiana, the need to adapt treatment programs to cultural settings, and the difficulties of conducting effective follow-up treatment amongst remote communities.
