Introduction

In 2012, a significant milestone was achieved in psoriasis advocacy. A group of determined individuals, led by Josef de Guzman, a board member of IFPA and ex-president of PsorPhilippines, came together to establish PsorAsia+Pacific, a groundbreaking organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by psoriasis in the Asia-Pacific region. With a vision to unite and empower individuals, PsorAsia+Pacific embarked on a journey to address the unique challenges psoriasis patients face in this diverse and culturally rich part of the world.

Why a Regional Organization for Psoriasis Advocacy?

Psoriatic disease is a chronic condition affecting millions of people worldwide, but the Asia-Pacific region has distinct characteristics that necessitate a dedicated platform for advocacy. We recognized the importance of addressing the specific needs of this region. Cultural, social, and healthcare nuances influence the experiences of individuals with psoriasis, making it essential to establish an organization that would effectively cater to these unique challenges.
