The World Psoriasis Day 2022
The Psoriasis Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (PFPI) in cooperation with the Department of Dermatology of Southern Philippines Medical Center, Davao Regional Medical Center, and University of Southeastern Philippines - School of Medicine celebrated World Psoriasis Day 2022 on October 12, 2022 at USEP - Obrero Campus, Davao City and October 21, 2022 at USEP Tagum Campus. The program included lectures, patient's testimony, games, and a medical mission to cap the special day.
PFPI president Dr. Victoria P. Guillano said in her brief message that the World Psoriasis Day was on October 29 but celebration was carried the whole month of October with the theme "UNITED WE TACKLE MENTAL HEALTH. This year also marked the Foundation's 25th anniversary.
She said the Psoriasis Foundation of the Philippines had been conducting this activity since 1997 and they are doing this to focus on people's awareness about psoriasis and to give those with psoriasis the attention and consideration they deserve.
"By celebrating the World Psoriasis Day, we Raise awareness about Psoriasis and encourage the health care decision makers to give patients with psoriasis better access to treatment as well as deliver facts, relevant information and knowledge to our patients through lay forum or fora as experts discuss or talk about how to cope with chronic conditions like psoriasis and provide a patient voice platform," she said.
Guillano said the PFPI together with other psoriasis allied groups or organizations are lobbying with the lawmakers to champion a house bill regarding the inclusion of Psoriasis in PhilHealth so that our patients will be covered and have easy access to treatment.
There were also sharing of the patients' psoriasis journey and election of Psoriasis Club Officers.
Present during the actvity were Dr. Cesar Limbaga-USeP Chancellor, Dr. Roby Pagong-USeP Extension Director, Dr. Francis Besas-DRMC IM Dept. Chair, and Dr. Bryan Dalid, DRMC Chief of Hospital.
