A total of 118\u00a0applications from the five main geographical areas –\u00a0Africa and Arab States, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America\u00a0–\u00a0were received and evaluated by an independent Steering Committee of six worldwide renowned dermatology experts.\u00a0One winner per region\u00a0receives\u00a0a funding to reward the initiative and to help them continue the development of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Asia-Pacific<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/a>Dr.\u00a0Jeong Chan-woo from South Korea<\/span><\/p>\n

Sharing skin love –\u00a0Skin Health Promotion for Orphanage and for low-income children\/youth<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This initiative was established to help children from low-income families, without parents or those living away from their parents, to receive education on how to prevent skin diseases. They also\u00a0have access to high quality treatment if they are suffering from a dermatological condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/a>Dr. Ksenia Sorokina from Russia<\/span><\/p>\n

A healthy child means a healthy family-\u00a0Targeting prevention of dermatitis and adherence to treatment<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This project consists of providing training\u00a0workshops for parents and children with chronic skin diseases and developing the\u00a0first ever website to allow patients living in remote areas of the Russian Federation to access a consultation with a dermatologist, as well as attend online training seminars for people presenting chronic dermatitis and to increase adherence to therapy for patients as well as their parents, within four Russian territories.<\/span><\/p>\n

This initiative provides free consultations, medical treatment and sun education via mobile surgery clinics to the 40,000 indigenous people from the Archipelago of San Blas, a region with the highest incidence of albinism in the world. Albinos can face severe skin problems, such as skin cancer, caused by UV light and sun exposure due to the lack of melanin in their skin. The mobile surgery clinics are able to travel to the Archipelago of San Blas, a community that often shuns medical treatment and avoids protective measures against skin cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

For North America<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
