Psoriatic disease is a chronic autoimmune condition that results in the rapid build-up of skin cells. While the physical manifestations of the disease are evident, the condition also has other less visible implications, including psychological, emotional, and social effects. More than 60 million people are living with psoriatic disease worldwide. In the psoriatic disease international community, Edmund has joined IFPA (International Federation of Psoriasis Association) in the national, regional and international patient advocacy events, patient engagement and research activities.

Edmund always believes in creating an international unified voice and platform from which to advocate for the needs and rights of people with psoriasis or other diseases worldwide.
