Fighting for greater psoriasis awareness in Latin America

Psoriasis, a chronic skin condition, affects approximately 2% of people in Latin America, highlighting the need for greater awareness and access to medication in the region.

Our host, journalist Brian Mastroianni, speaks with Silvia Fernandez Barrio, a radio and TV journalist in Argentina and founder of AEPSO—the first and only psoriasis patient organisation in the country.

The episode explores Fernandez Barrio's journey, how her experience in journalism led her to advocacy and forming AEPSO, and why we need to focus on regional awareness and universal access to medicine.
