One Disease is a non-profit philanthropic organisation with a core mission of eliminating Crusted Scabies as a public health concern in the Northern Territory.
Scabies underlies many skin infections in the NT’s remote indigenous communities. These infections can in turn lead to sepsis, Acute Rheumatic Fever, Rheumatic Heart Disease, and chronic kidney disease
This Podcast series - ‘Scratching the Surface - the Scabies Story’ is part of One Disease’s commitment to provide Scabies and Crusted Scabies education to health services in both remote communities and urban settings.
In this episode our guest is Professor Bart Currie from Menzies School of Health Research, Royal Darwin Hospital and board member of One Disease. In this first episode featuring Bart, he discusses the origins of scabies and the history of treatment of the condition in the NT.
Your hosts in Darwin’s ‘Studio G’ are Brad Firebrace from Skinnyfish Music and One Disease’s Geoffrey ‘Jacko’ Angeles.
