Socioeconomic considerations in delivery of dermatological care
Many countries have different ways that they deliver dermatologic care in their regions. In our session, we will attempt to present the good- and bad- that is present in every healthcare delivery system. We will have expert representatives from many regions- from almost every continent- who will talk about what works, and what doesn’t in their healthcare systems. We hope you will try to attend what will certainly be a very interesting session.
