Despite the fact that people with psoriasis often feel much better the care, training and treatment in a sunny climate, many counties that do not pay for the so-called Climate Care.
Treatment is recommended of the MPA, and last year it was nearly 150 patients who were admitted to climate care in the Scandinavian direction, but the need is much greater, according to the Psoriasis Association.
Veronika Lindberg’s ombudsman at the Psoriasis Association and she believes that effective forms of care should be benefit all patients:
– the care is very different and whether there are recommendations from the MPA as do counties their own priorities.
She talks about what the differences between county councils led to one of the union members who filed for climate care. The man lives in Örebro, but receive their care in Östergötland because it is closer.
– It appeared that the county council in Örebro not printing Climate Care, and then can not Östergötland prescribe it for then do not pay Orebro, says Veronika Lindberg. But because the member has his barn in Östergötland, so he thought seriously about writing in his barn, because then he would be able to get their climate care.
The traditional climate care conducted in Scandinavian directing means that patients staying in the sun and heat plants in the Canary Islands over a three week period.
The program includes medical examinations, controlled sun exposure, education about the disease, treatment, and dietary advice, physical activity, and support if you want to quit smoking.
According to the Psoriasis Association it was last year nearly 150 people who participated in the programs, but if you live in the north or the south east of Sweden, said the county councils no, often arguing that the treatment can be given at home.
But Chief She notes that responsible for climate care in the Canary Islands and seen many patients improve, says it is an effective form of treatment:
– I’ve met very many psoriasis patients and many have problems with stress. There are a lot of job and family. With climate care they removed from the everyday environment so they can rest. But the idea is that you’ll get the tools with you so that you will be able to handle the stress when you get home.
What do you say to those who think that this is just the holiday and treatment as well can be given at home?
– Well, first, it is not just a vacation, it’s hard work and it takes a lot of them, both gymnastic exercises and in the form of lessons, so it’s a tough program and usually I tell you.
