この賞は、医療とは別に自信を喚起し社会的共生を促すような患者支援を目指す個人、団体、病院などによる皮膚科学の自発的イニシアティブに褒賞を授与することで、人目に付かないことの多い世界の皮膚科学者たちの努力と苦労を認め、称えることを目標としています。皮膚疾患のある人たちは、差別を受け社会的疎外感を感じることが多いのです。

防止と教育、生活の質と自尊心の向上、治療の保険適用化と手術という主な3つのカテゴリーのひとつ以上に該当するプロジェクトが認められました。

5つの主な地域（アフリカ・アラブ諸国、アジア太平洋、ヨーロッパ、中南米、北米）から計118の応募があり、世界的に著名な皮膚科学専門家 6 名で構成する独立した運営委員会が審査しました。地域ごとに1名が、イニシアティブを労いプロジェクトの開発続行を援助するための資金を受け取ります。

The Awards aim to acknowledge and celebrate the often unseen efforts and hard

work carried out by dermatologists worldwide by rewarding voluntary

dermatological initiatives, coming from individuals, associations or hospitals,

favoring patient support and care in order to inspire confidence and encourage

social inclusion, independently from their medical treatment. People with

dermatological conditions may frequently face discrimination and feel socially

excluded.

Projects falling into at least one of the three main categories Prevention and

Education, Improved Quality of Life and Self-Esteem, Access to Care Coverage

and Surgery were accepted.

A total of 118 applications from the five main geographical areas - Africa and

Arab States, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America - were

received and evaluated by an independent Steering Committee of six worldwide

renowned dermatology experts. One winner per region receives a funding to

reward the initiative and to help them continue the development of the project.

The five dermatologists awarded are:

For Africa and Arab States  

Prof. Khalid Mohammed AlGhamdi from Saudi Arabia

Charity Society known as Faal to empower and support vitiligo patients in Saudi

Arabia  

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition that causes pale, white patches on the

skin due to a lack of melanin. This project aimed to increase awareness via TV

broadcasts, schools visits and to provide psychological and social support to

patients with vitiligo through training courses and different education

programs.

For Asia-Pacific

Dr. Jeong Chan-woo from South Korea

Sharing skin love - Skin Health Promotion for Orphanage and for low-income

children/youth

This initiative was established to help children from low-income families,

without parents or those living away from their parents, to receive education

on how to prevent skin diseases. They also have access to high quality

treatment if they are suffering from a dermatological condition.

For Europe  

Dr. Ksenia Sorokina from Russia

A healthy child means a healthy family- Targeting prevention of dermatitis and

adherence to treatment

This project consists of providing training workshops for parents and children

with chronic skin diseases and developing the first ever website to allow

patients living in remote areas of the Russian Federation to access a

consultation with a dermatologist, as well as attend online training seminars

for people presenting chronic dermatitis and to increase adherence to therapy

for patients as well as their parents, within four Russian territories.

For Latin America  

Dr. Gioconda Gaudiano from Republic of Panama

Moon Children - Providing mobile surgery clinics to Indigenous people

This initiative provides free consultations, medical treatment and sun

education via mobile surgery clinics to the 40,000 indigenous people from the

Archipelago of San Blas, a region with the highest incidence of albinism in the

world. Albinos can face severe skin problems, such as skin cancer, caused by UV

light and sun exposure due to the lack of melanin in their skin. The mobile

surgery clinics are able to travel to the Archipelago of San Blas, a community

that often shuns medical treatment and avoids protective measures against skin

cancer.

For North America  

Dr. Danielle Marcoux from Canada

Camp Liberte - Summer camp for children with skin disorders

This one-week summer camp run by volunteer dermatologists and nurses enrolled

children aged 7 to 12 with moderate-to-severe skin disorders, as well as their

families, to bring them together for support, social interaction and to

increase their confidence. All the activities aim to increase patients'

confidence and self-esteem, improve social skills, reduce stigma about their

condition and improve adherence to treatment.

These awards were supported by the International League of Dermatological

Societies (ILDS) and by the 23rd World Congress of Dermatology.
