GlobalSkin has been actively working to establish a community of patient organizations for atopic eczema patients worldwide. Projects have included the launch of AltogetherEczema.org , World Atopic Eczema Day and release of a co-sponsored report on atopic dermatitis with the Economist Intelligence Unit. The lessons we are learning from this community building will be very helpful as we begin to build more disease- and region-specific communities.
