WHO Skin NTD Conference (Geneva, Switzerland) - March 24-26, 2025

The World Health Organization (WHO) held its first global meeting on skin-related neglected tropical diseases (skin NTDs) on 27–31 March 2023 in Geneva, Switzerland. This meeting has built the foundation and momentum for the second global meeting to be held on 24–26 March 2025. The event demonstrates the collective commitment of the global skin-NTD community to achieving a key objective of the NTD road map: integration.

GlobalSkin will be present at the meeting, showcasing posters on patient organizations in healthcare, the Skin Diseases Resolution, PRIDD, and global mental health resources.

We'll network with global delegates, advocate for the Skin Diseases Resolution, and highlight patient organizations' role in care—reinforcing these messages in two side events. We'll attend WHO departmental meetings with the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) to bring the patient perspective to key discussions.
