Manila, Philippines - October 31, 2023 - Psoriasis Philippines (PsorPhil), the leading national advocacy and support group for individuals living with psoriatic diseases, has marked a historic moment with the launch of the GPP Network. This groundbreaking initiative focuses on individuals battling Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP), an exceedingly rare and severe form of psoriasis that can be life-threatening.
What is GPP?
Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and severe autoimmune inflammatory disorder, causing widespread, painful, and pus-filled blisters (pustules) on the skin, often surrounded by inflamed, red skin. Due to its potentially life-threatening nature and significant impact on well-being, early diagnosis, and appropriate treatment are critical.

Psoriasis Philippines (PsorPhil) is a patient support group for Filipinos with psoriatic disease. A few patents formed Psorphil as an online community where they can freely articulate themselves and discuss their conditions.
Project Description
The Psorphil-GPP CARE Project is conceived to take better care of members with the GPP type of psoriatic disease through several projects such as a patient-powered registry, GPP support group, patient rescue activities, networking to hospitals, and different trial sites.
We had a round table discussion yesterday on how to improve healthcare for psoriatic disease. With all the recommendations, we hope that biological treatments will be included in the Philippine National Drug Formulary and PhilHealth will create a benefit package for psoriatic disease. #AccessForAll #PsoriaticDisease #psoriasis #psoriaticarthritis #UHC
