Illustrated booklet

PsA and Reproductive Health

30 May 2023

By IFPA

In 2023, GRAPPA published new guidelines for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. People living with psoriatic disease must be empowered to take an active role in managing their condition.

Together GoodCare project team and with support from IFPA Advocacy Ambassador Karina Andrea Chavez, we have created the Psoriatic Arthritis and Reproductive Health Awareness Booklet.

It is common for women with psoriatic arthritis to give up the decision to have children because of their disease. It is important that couples and partners receive support so that they can balance the management of the pathology with their family planning. Psoriatic Disease does not decide for you.

If you would like a copy of the book and or would like to translate it to your native language please reach out to IFPA Communications Team. And update us with the translated material so we can share it Worldwide.
