Malta Eczema Society
The Malta Eczema Society was set up in 2001 to help those with eczema and their families. The need for such a group in Malta, as found in other countries, had been felt for a long time. The society aims to help by providing support, information and practical advice via public talks and other activities and to increase awareness about eczema and the problems it may cause. One of the initiatives taken by the Malta Eczema Society has been a questionnaire survey of school teachers in Malta to assess awareness and knowledge about eczema and identify areas that need attention in future information campaigns. The survey confirmed widespread misconceptions about the condition - for instance, more than 10% of participating teachers wrongly thought that eczema is contagious and many did not know about the career implications of eczema. Clearly, a lot remains to be done. The Malta Eczema Society has also repeatedly lobbied the Maltese Health Authorities regarding entitlement for free medication for eczema sufferers. Until recently, patients with eczema, unlike those with other chronic conditions, were not eligible for any free medication for their condition no matter how severe and chronic it was because eczema was not included in the Schedule V list of chronic diseases. This was very unfair and discriminatory. We are pleased to note that in 2022 the Schedule V list was amended to include patients with severe chronic forms of eczema. This is a big step in the right direction. It is now hoped that new effective medications for severe eczema such as dupilumab and JAK inhibitors which have been available in other countries for several years and are still not available in Malta will now also become available here too. The Malta Eczema Society will continue to insist that available funds should be utilised according to patients’ needs and that patients should not be discriminated according to which chronic disease they are unlucky enough to develop.
