Goa, India 🇮🇳
Building on the scientific focus of the Chandigarh meeting on June 25-28, this 1½-day event explores the lived experience of vitiligo through the lens of the Vitiligo Patient Journey.
Patients, dermatologists, psychologists, researchers, advocacy organizations, and industry partners will come together to examine the full spectrum of life with vitiligo — from diagnosis and treatment decisions to emotional well-being, family support, education, work, and long-term care.
Highlights include
- 🗺️ Launch of the National Vitiligo Atlas of India
- 🏛️ Introduction of the Global Vitiligo Observatory
- 🌍 Announcement of the host city for World Vitiligo Day 2027
Whether you are living with vitiligo, caring for patients, conducting research, or supporting the community, we invite you to help shape the next chapter of the global movement.
