Global Vitiligo Atlas

Introducing the Global Vitiligo Atlas (GLOVA): Established in 2022, GLOVA is a comprehensive initiative dedicated to advancing our understanding of vitiligo and its societal impact. Led by Professors Khaled Ezzedine (Université Paris-Est Créteil Val de Marne-Université Paris, France) and Viktoria Eleftheriadou (University of Birmingham, UK), GLOVA is a collaborative project between three prominent global dermatology organizations: the ILDS, the Vitiligo International Society (VIS) and the Vitiligo Patient Organisation (VIPOC).

GLOVA is comprised of three separate projects, which aim to publish an epidemiology atlas, create an international registry to study pharmacovigilance of vitiligo drugs (VIRTUAL) and reach a global consensus on disease severity (INTERCEPT). With its first project, the epidemiology atlas, completed in 2024, GLOVA seeks to use the epidemiological insights gained to prioritize research, enhance healthcare and inform policy decisions on vitiligo.
