Get ready for the next IFPA Conference – the only global scientific congress dedicated to frontline research in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and beyond. The conference is themed: Bridging science, innovation and patient-centered care.

Join us in shaping a future where everyone living with psoriatic disease can enjoy better health, greater well-being, and freedom from stigma and preventable disability.

IFPA presents World Psoriasis Day. Each year, the global community unites to raise awareness and call for action in support of people living with psoriatic disease. World Psoriasis Day has been celebrated on October 29th for more than a decade. Today, World Psoriasis Day is observed in over 70 countries.

With the slogan “Look Beyond My Skin”, this year’s campaign calls for a shift in perspective: to recognize the person behind the disease, to listen to their experiences, embrace them for who they are, and to encourage greater understanding of psoriasis.

For the first time in African history, a continental summit dedicated entirely to psoriasis, brought together patient advocates, clinicians, researchers and policymakers to address one of the region’s most overlooked diseases. Held in Nairobi from May 7–9 and co-hosted by IFPA (the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations) and PsorAfrica (the regional association for psoriasis in Africa), the event marked a major step in placing psoriasis firmly on Africa’s public health agenda.

The International Federation of Psoriasis Associations (IFPA) and the WHO Foundation have signed a multi-year collaboration agreement supporting WHO efforts to strengthen global understanding, diagnosis and care for psoriasis. The collaboration aims to improve outcomes for the more than 100 million people living with psoriasis worldwide.
