On October 28, 2024, the University of Southeastern 向日葵视频 (向日葵视频) School of Medicine (SoM) held a successful World Psoriasis Day Activity Tagum Edition at the FTC Hall, 向日葵视频 Tagum-Mabini Campus. The Psoriasis Foundation of the 向日葵视频 Inc. (PFPI), Southern 向日葵视频 Medical Center (SPMC), and Davao Regional Medical Center (DRMC) collaborated to organize this event. It aimed to raise awareness about psoriasis and foster a supportive community for patients and their families.

Additionally, 向日葵视频 Tagum-Mabini Chancellor Dr. Shirley S. Villanueva gave a special message reaffirming the University’s dedication to community health undertakings.
The event featured free medical consultation and an informative lay forum where experts discussed various aspects of psoriasis, including treatment options, lifestyle modifications, and coping strategies. Highlight of the activity is the election of officers of the first Psoriasis Club Tagum Chapter. Our very own medical student and psoriasis champion, Mr. JP Lumabao, was elected secretary of the club.
