Youth leadership is the missing piece in transforming skin health across Sub-Saharan Africa. 🌍💚 Skin diseases remain among the world’s leading causes of non-fatal disease burden, yet dermatological care continues to be underfunded, overlooked, and inaccessible for many communities. Young leaders, researchers, advocates, and innovators have the potential to change this. By investing in youth leadership, we can strengthen research, influence policy, bridge communities with clinical practice, and build a healthier future for all. The Regional Dermatology Youth Summit 2027 will bring together the next generation of leaders to collaborate, innovate, and shape the future of skin health in our region. 📍 Arusha, Tanzania 🗓️ 9–10 January 2027 The future of skin health isn’t waiting—it’s being built by young people today.

Happy World Skin Health Day, everyone! 🤎 To celebrate the day, together with ILDS (International League of Dermatological Societies) and IFPD, we hosted an event filled with expert lectures on skin health, and the dangers of bleaching creams. Because every skin is beautiful, that’s exactly why The Black Frame masterclass was created, a free six day photography masterclass for young African female photographers ready to capture skin the way it deserves to be seen: celebrated, not corrected. Application is still ongoing Link in bio.

Today, the RDTC Advisory Board convened for its Mid-Term Evaluation Meeting to review key milestones and discuss the next phase of growth. From the journey towards becoming a WHO Collaborating Centre for Skin NTDs, to expanding dermatology nursing education, strengthening regional collaborations, and supporting local sunscreen production, every agenda item reflected our commitment to advancing dermatologic care in Tanzania and across Africa. Progress is measured not only by what has been achieved, but by the vision that continues to drive us forward. 🌍✨#RDTC#KCMC#skinhealthforall#ILDS#IFD

On World Vitiligo Day, we recognise the realities faced by people living with vitiligo and the importance of tackling stigma while improving access to care. In Mexico, where there is around one dermatologist for every 100,000 people, access to specialist support can be limited. Through her project, the Mexican Vitiligo Foundation, Dr Karen Férez Blando, a GLODERM mentee (2024–2025) is working to change this by raising awareness, supporting patients and challenging misconceptions about vitiligo. Living with vitiligo herself, Dr Férez Blando (@dermakarenferez) brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to her work, helping to drive more inclusive, community-led approaches to care. In this video, discover the impact of locally led initiatives, supported by GLODERM, in strengthening dermatology leadership worldwide.
