There will be fun lecturettes, games, booths, a video wall and other gimmicks. There will also be a free clinic on the side.
It will be participated in by all sectors of the PDS—so come join us and give your support.
This 1st National Eczema Congress will be held as a joint celebration of World Skin Health Day by the PDS and the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS).
As we emerge renewed from the quiet reflections of Holy Week, let us be mindful of all the blessings and opportunities available to us through the PDS, our dedicated member-volunteers so generous with their time and efforts, and our industry partners. With the joyful hope and victory of the Resurrection story, let us continue to grow together in unity to reach out to each other and to our community.
