Dear Dr Paul
Psoriasis Editorial (World Psoriasis Day) - Source / Information for Star Health (FAO - Dr Paul Yeo)
I understand that every year StarHealth does a feature on Psoriasis to conincide with "World Psoriasis Day" (October 29). Last year, Dr Allan Yee (adviser of Psoriasis Association of Malaysia) wrote the main piece for Star Health.
I wish to draw your attention to a Psoriasis project we put together that may be of interest to your editorial team. A group of 10 Proriasis sufferers are blogging about their psoriasis history, thoughts, challenges, frustration, hope, etc. This is a first project of its kind in Malaysia.
Information about psoriasis is scant and the general public is ignorant. These 10 blogs offer insights into the life of a psoriasis sufferer. Through them, your readers are able to "hear" the silent voices of Psoriasis patients. Together, they represent a cross section of psoriasis sufferers in Malaysia. The demographics are:
- Age: 19 - 52
- Sex: Male - 8 . Female -2
- Ethnic: Malay 5, Chinese 4, Indian 1
- Severity: Mild to Very Severe
We have consolidated these 10 blogs here: http://olivenol-livin.blogspot.com. The journalist you assign to work on Psoriasis can easily find links to the respective blogs.
If you need other information, do not hessitate to contact me.
Kind regards
