Our Community: DEBRA Singapore

In our latest Our Community feature, we’re sitting down with Dr. Ritu Jain, President of DEBRA International and the local DEBRA Singapore chapter, a non-profit organisation which we work with at Accela Finance.

Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association (DEBRA) Singapore is a support group for patients living with congenital epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare and little-known skin condition. The organisation’s goals are to increase awareness of (EB), provide resources, support and funding for EB patients and their families, create and strengthen networks for professionals involved with EB care or research, in Singapore and around the world, be a regional centre of research excellence, and medical and diagnostic support and foster the development of new DEBRA groups and mentor newly established ones.
