Be informed – World Psoriasis Day

This World Psoriasis Day, we encourage you to draw attention to key issues and keep psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis soundly in the global political spotlight.

We believe that the secret to success is information. Informed patients, patient associations, advocates, medical professionals, scientists, and societies have the power to dramatically improve quality of life for people living with psoriasis. Information is a key ingredient in the recipe for empowerment.

Join us on 29th October and throughout psoriasis awareness month to spread information and stand up for a world without suffering from psoriasis.

The Vision

Informed patients can manage their condition better and motivate behavior change in their communities.

Informed patient associations are effective in advocating the needs of psoriasis patients and helping them with social and psychological issues, something physicians have little time to do.

Informed medical professionals have the ability to deliver positive, solid information about psoriasis and its treatments.

Informed society will know that psoriasis is not transmittable to/from another person by touch or close contact, which will help to lessen the stigma, discrimination and exclusion of people living with psoriasis.

Informed decision makers will be empowered to implement the recommendations stated in the WHO Resolution on Psoriasis, to create national guidelines/action plans and devote resources to support early screening of psoriasis patients.
