What started as a small awareness event has grown into a global movement that’s reshaping the future of dermatology.
In this episode, we trace the remarkable rise of World Vitiligo Day (WVD) — a campaign that brought visibility to a long-overlooked condition, ignited pharmaceutical innovation, and redefined what global health advocacy can achieve.
Now in its 15th year, WVD 2025 is headquartered in Toronto, Canada under the theme
“Innovation for Every Skin, Powered by AI.”
This year’s event showcases cutting-edge advances in dermatology — from AI-powered diagnostics to personalized treatment plans — tested against Canada’s rigorous healthcare standards. 🇨🇦
The appointment of tech entrepreneur Keith Loo as the first non-physician WVD president marks a bold step toward cross-industry collaboration.
From Lagos to Rome to Toronto, WVD’s rolling HQ model and community-powered mission are changing how the world confronts neglected diseases.
