Ottawa Hospital introduces skin-coloured bandages to promote health equity for darker-skinned patients.

The Ottawa Hospital now offers patients 'skin-coloured bandages' that better match a range of skin tones. This initiative was spearheaded by Ellen Odai Alie, the hospital's director of medical imaging, with the goal of promoting health equity. The program, launched earlier this month, provides darker-skinned patients with an alternative to traditional bandages designed for white skin.
