Over 60 million people worldwide live with psoriatic disease — a serious lifelong condition with no cure, often linked to other noncommunicable diseases like diabetes, heart disease, depression and more. Despite its global impact, the disease has been largely overlooked in global and national health policies.

IFPA (The International Federation of Psoriasis Associations) – a global organization, fighting for people living with psoriatic disease - calls for urgent actions to put the living experiences of psoriatic disease at the forefront of the global health agenda.

As a part of this advocacy initiative, IFPA organizes a high-level conversation in partnership with @Devex on the sidelines of UNGA, titled: Psoriatic Disease and NCDs: Putting Lived Experience at the Heart of Policy.

The session will feature Kate Reynolds, IFPA ambassador, living with psoriatic disease, and Frida Dunger, Executive Director of IFPA. The speakers will share insights and powerful perspectives on why lived experience of noncommunicable diseases like psoriasis must move to the center of global health policymaking.
