This Coalition brings together a multi-stakeholder group of like-minded organisations focused putting medical dermatology on the global health agenda.
The ILDS is committed to representing dermatology professionals, including our 190+ member organisations from more than 90 countries, and working with patient organisations to improve skin health for patients all around the world. As a founding partner of the World Skin Health Coalition, we look forward to utilising resources to foster collaboration, strengthen partnerships, develop networks to facilitate opportunities to raise awareness of the cross-cutting nature of skin health and impact global health policy. The ILDS is committed to the inclusion of the patient voice in our work; this coalition is part of a meaningful engagement in achieving that goal, and to improve the health and quality of life for patients.
