Equity in AA Care: Stories and Insights in Alopecia Areata is a multi-part video series that explores the experience of alopecia areata from diagnosis to treatment access, and the policy environment. In our third video, Alessandro Monaco speaks with Dr Leila Asfour and patient advocates Carlotta Sezzi, Jonas Labermeier, and Jean-Marie Meurant as they share perspectives on differences in treatment access across Italy, Germany, France and the UK. The panelists share a range of barriers to accessing treatment for severe alopecia areata across Italy, Germany, France and the UK. These include limited patient information, gaps in healthcare professional education, and insufficient support after consultations. They also note the perception of alopecia areata as cosmetic rather than autoimmune continues to limit reimbursement and timely care.
