Cps Stands in Solidarity with Persons Living with Vitiligo on Thursday World Vitiligo Day

The Collective Prevention Service (CPS) in Sint Maarten observed World Vitiligo Day on June 25, expressing solidarity with individuals and families affected by the chronic skin condition. This annual observance, joined by the international community, focuses on raising awareness and promoting understanding of vitiligo. It also aims to combat stigma and discrimination, while encouraging support for those living with the condition. Vitiligo causes the loss of skin pigment when melanocytes stop functioning, resulting in lighter or white patches. The day serves to educate communities about the medical, social, and emotional challenges associated with the condition, which can affect people of all ages.
