Today we celebrate #WorldSkinHealthDay! The International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and the International Society of Dermatology (ISD) have joined forces to launch the first official World Skin Health Day (#WSHD2024). It takes place TODAY on Monday 8 July 2024. WSHD was established in 2013 by ILDS and ISD; until this year, activities have taken place on different days in different parts of the world. 2024 marks the launch of an annual dedicated day of awareness-raising, aimed at highlighting the significant impact of skin diseases and the need for more education and increased equity of access to treatment for patients globally. To mark the day, six special events are taking place around the world to encourage discussion and spur action towards the delivery of ‘#SkinHealthforAll’. They will also serve as examples of how individuals and organisations can get involved, both this year and in future years. "World Skin Health Day is an exciting opportunity to raise awareness and understanding of the impact of skin diseases and to advocate for higher standards of dermatological care and improved access to it. We’re grateful to CeraVe for its generous support this year, which has enabled us to expand our campaign and to support the six inspiring regional events that will shortly take place. We look forward to our first official World Skin Health Day and trust it will become a powerful platform for change in the years ahead, resulting in higher levels of understanding of skin diseases and greater investment into research and into the development of innovative diagnostic tools and new treatments." - ILDS President, Prof Henry W.
