“Today at the Chamber of Deputies we presented the Italian Alliance for people with psoriasis. The latter is constituted by our association Apiafco – Association of Italian psoriasis friends of the Corazza Foundation, by two dermatology companies, Sidemast and Adoi, and by Salutequità which is one of those organizations that collects data on our national health. We have decided to form an Alliance because for at least 2 years our association has been working to bring psoriasis into the Chronicity Plan“This was stated by Valeria Armorpresident of Apiafco, in Rome on the sidelines of the conference ‘Psoriasis: chronicity and patient needs’.
“The chronicity plan dates back to 2016 – he recalled – but now windows have been reopened to update it because, as it was structured, it does not work. Psoriasis is a chronic disease and has every right to enter the chronicity plan as the other 10 pathologies that are part of it. This is the first step to continue the journey “.
“An interparliamentary group was formed and the event ended with a call to action ‘Psoriasis, the need does not hide‘signed by all the parliamentarians with whom we have spoken – underlined Corazza – This call to action is addressed to Minister Speranza to take into consideration various aspects of psoriasis in the health plan. We hope that the call to action will remove politicians from the distracting attitude that has existed so far on this disease. In fact, psoriasis, which affects 2 million Italians, of which 500 thousand in severe form; it is a devastating disease that affects the person at 360 degrees and can give a poor quality of life to patients. I think it is time for many to know, including the institutions “.
