WHO Report on Psoriasis

The WHO's seminal report on psoriasis from 2016 stands as a cornerstone in understanding the worldwide impact of this condition. Created in response to a resolution on psoriasis (WHA 67.9) passed at the 67th World Health Assembly of the WHO in 2014, in which all Member States recognized the burden of psoriasis and committed to increase efforts to fight stigma and raise awareness of the condition. This global report provides a comprehensive overview of the global disease burden, its impact on patients' lives and avenues for enhancing care quality. This report also served as the foundation for the establishment of the Global Psoriasis Atlas (GPA), a long-term project led by Professor Chris Griffiths. The GPA represents a long-term initiative committed to advancing our comprehension of psoriasis and elucidating its impact on both individuals and broader society.
