On October 29, 2018, the International Federation of Psoriasis Association will engage in global activities to spread their message. Psoriasis is a worldwide health concern that afflicts over 125 million people.
Sadly, access to treatment is limited. On World Psoriasis Day activists are encouraged to push for better and more affordable access to treatment. Events held every year include an awareness walk, seminars by medical professionals, free psoriasis assessments, and fundraising barbeques. The first ever World Psoriasis Day happened in 2004.
