Mission Statement

Skin Health for Everyone, Everywhere

Our mission is to connect dermatologists (and trainees) whose primary interests are focused on the advancement of skin health in resource-limited communities, locally and globally, through sustainable and integrated approaches to clinical care, education, research, policy, and advocacy.

Our Guiding Principles

  1. All people have access to appropriate care for diseases of the skin, regardless of age, gender, race, country of origin, location, and socioeconomic status (or no matter what barriers they face).
  2. Reducing the burden of skin disease in individuals, families, and communities through education, communication, prevention, and other public health measures.
  3. Providing access to training, support, and resources necessary for health providers to offer appropriate care of skin diseases for patients and communities.
  4. Communication and collaboration between health workers who are engaged in the activities supported by the mission of the International Alliance for Global Health Dermatology “GLODERM”.
