Manila, Philippines – April 29, 2024 – In a landmark agreement signed today, Psoriasis Philippines (PsorPhil), a leading patient advocacy group, and Tondo Medical Center (DOH-TMC) join forces to launch the world’s first collaborative care project designed explicitly for Filipinos battling Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP), a rare and debilitating form of psoriasis.

A Beacon of Hope for GPP Patients

This groundbreaking MOA signing, led by PsorPhil President Paul Albert Mendoza, PsorPhil Founder and CEO Josef de Guzman, PsorPhil Secretary-General Emmylou Casanova, Dr. Noel P. Coronel, MD, FPCP, MGM (Chief of Medical Professional Staff II) of Tondo Medical Center, and Dr. Roberto Antonio B.

Imagine a future where GPP patients receive the immediate, specialized care they deserve. That’s the vision PsorPhil is turning into reality. Under this innovative agreement, PsorPhil will act as a bridge, identifying GPP patients needing immediate medical attention and ensuring smooth referrals to Tondo Medical Center’s dedicated GPP team.

Tondo Medical Center Steps Up

Tondo Medical Center isn’t just providing beds; it’s giving hope. It’s pledged to prioritize GPP cases, assemble a specialized team, and offer all necessary treatments within its facility. For unavailable diagnostics or treatments, it’ll ensure swift referrals. But its commitment goes further. Tondo Medical Center will also collaborate with PsorPhil on public awareness campaigns, educating healthcare professionals and the public about GPP.

This partnership is a call to action. PsorPhil is actively seeking ten additional hospitals to join this groundbreaking initiative within the year, making it a truly national effort to improve the lives of GPP patients.
