Global access to care for psoriatic disease, “remains fragmented and challenging,” according to the International Federation of Psoriatic Disease Associations (IFPA). “Access for All,” the theme of World Psoriasis Awareness Day 2023, is intended to highlight the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC), the Federation says.
“Access to healthcare must be for all, universal, and equitable, and we are looking forward to a brighter future, committed to making this vision a reality for everyone living with the psoriatic disease,” says Frida Dunger Johnsson, Executive Director of IFPA.
Affecting millions of individuals globally, psoriasis may be associated with comorbidities, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. IFPA calls for UHC health benefit packages that encompass the treatment of psoriatic disease and promote holistic and people-centered care.
