Our Members are at the heart of what we do and are the driving force behind our vision to attain the best possible skin health for all people around the world. We recognise outstanding dermatologists around the world with our Awards, as well as providing project specific grants for Members to support initiatives in under-served parts of the world.

Showcasing the work of ILDS Member Societies

Across every region of the world, our Member Societies contribute to advancing dermatology and strengthening global skin health. We are pleased to present this film from the Mongolian Dermato-Venereological Society, which highlights their ongoing efforts and impact across a country where access to care varies greatly in urban centres and rural areas.

As our first Member-focused film, we invite other societies to get in touch if they would like to be part of future features.

ILDS Member Initiatives Directory

One of the ILDS’ overall aims is to promote the sharing and exchange of information between ILDS Member organisations in order to educate and empower fellow dermatologists and their Societies globally. The ILDS Member Initiatives Directory contributes to that aim by presenting a broad range of approaches so we can share key projects and learnings.

First published in 2018 to coincide with the World Skin Summit in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, with published annually since 2023, the creative and informative initiatives featured in these Directories are representative of the inspiring work that dermatologists and their societies undertake globally every day.

From sharing knowledge and supporting colleagues to advancing dermatological care and improving skin health in communities around the world, these initiatives demonstrate the passion and impact of the ILDS Membership community.
