Grand challenges for skin health revisited: the International League of Dermatological Societies skin disease atlases
On 24 May 2025, the Seventy-Eighth World Health Assembly (WHA78) adopted a resolution recognizing skin diseases as a global public health priority. This reflects a collective commitment from WHO member states to strengthen policies, secure resources and improve care for those affected by skin diseases. This milestone comes a decade after the launch of the Grand Challenges in Global Skin Health initiative (GSHi).
