Public consultation: Draft Global Action Plan on Skin Diseases as a global health priority (GAP-SKIN)

Deadline: 10 May 2026

20 April 2026
Call for consultation

On 24 May 2025, the World Health Assembly adopted resolution WHA78.15, recognizing skin diseases as a global public health priority. The resolution requested the Director-General to develop a Global Action Plan for Skin Diseases for consideration by the 80th World Health Assembly in May 2027. In October 2025, the WHO Secretariat conducted a survey among Member States and stakeholders to gather initial inputs on the implications and implementation of the resolution. The findings have contributed to the draft GAP-Skin.

This public consultation aims to gather feedback on the draft document to support its further refinement.
