Psoriasis affects nearly 100m people worldwide: WHO

From: The Financial Express

A new World Health Organisation (WHO) report shows that psoriasis, the painful, disfiguring condition involving skin and nails, affects approximately 100 million people worldwide.
There is no known cause or cure for this no communicable disease (NCD), which is somewhat associated with discrimination and stigmatisation of those affected, according to press release from WHO headquarters. The new WHO report aims to help raise awareness of multiple ways the disease can affect peoples’ lives and empower policy-makers with practical solutions to improve the health care and social inclusion of people living with psoriasis in their populations, reports UNB. – DH
