The Awards aim to reward projects that favor social inclusion and self-esteem for patients with dermatological diseases, through improvement of quality of life, education and access to care. The Awards will bring to the forefront five projects in different continents around the world and will allow the winners to continue their work to improve the quality of life of their patients.
