Reports

Connecting Global Networks, Creating Global Impact, Fostering HS Unity Across Continents.

 

This Global Report has been a collaborative effort between the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and the Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas (GHiSA). GHiSA, dedicated to advancing global HS knowledge, awareness, and education about HS, has produced this report to offer a comprehensive overview of HS. It covers extensive aspects on HS, including diagnosis, emerging treatments, and global efforts. By highlighting the severe impact of HS, our aim is to guide policy makers, encouraging resource allocation and health care improvement for the patients.
