International Foundation for Dermatology

The International Foundation for Dermatology (IFD) was created in 1987 to carry out the humanitarian work of the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS), and works with a global network of partners to support skin health initiatives in low-resource areas worldwide that are available, accessible and effective for all patients, regardless of ethnicity, disability or social background. The IFD is critical to helping ILDS achieve its goal of #SkinHealth4theWorld.
