🎨 The "Ma peau raconte" contest is extended until the end of May !

We are giving artists a little more time.
Following our successful Kickstarter campaign for the art book and thanks to the beautiful works already received this year, we have chosen to prolong the initial deadline of April 15 to welcome even more voices.

Eleven years of creations around rare skin diseases will soon be brought together in a single volume. The works selected during this edition will take their place in the book, alongside pieces from our existing collection.

A note to artists : we warmly encourage paintings rather than photographs. Painted works bring a depth and a texture that truly serve the spirit of the book and the quality of its printed reproduction.

How to submit :

👉 By email to assistant@fondation-r-touraine.org (JPEG format is preferred whenever possible).

✉️ Or by post : Fondation René Touraine, Hôpital Necker – Enfants malades, Bâtiment Carré Necker – Cour Breteuil, 149 rue de Sèvres, 75015 Paris – France

Vitiligo affects millions of people worldwide, and in the Democratic Republic of Congo, those living with the condition face an even harsher reality: social stigma, misinformation, and extremely limited access to specialized care.

We are proud to announce our collaboration with the Association Congolaise du Vitiligo (ACV), founded in Goma, North Kivu, to help address these challenges. 🤝

In a context where dermatological expertise is scarce and psychological support even more limited, ACV stands as a frontline actor. Its commitment is guided by a clear vision: promoting public health and improving the quality of life of people living with vitiligo, in alignment with the World Health Organization and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Through a structured and impact-driven approach, ACV works to:

• Advocate for the rights and dignity of people living with vitiligo

• Raise awareness and actively combat stigma and discrimination

• Promote medical research and strengthen healthcare capacity

• Improve access to dermatological and psychological care

• Foster social, cultural, and economic inclusion

• Build partnerships at national and international levels

With one guiding principle: every person living with vitiligo deserves dignity, access to care, and a rightful place in society.

This type of commitment lies at the heart of the mission of the Fondation René Touraine: supporting those who take concrete action on the ground, where needs are greatest. 🌍

🌍 Yesterday in Denver, the 22nd Annual Skin of Color Society Scientific Symposium brought together dermatology leaders from around the world.

Founded in 2004 by Dr. Susan C. Taylor, the Skin of Color Society is the world's leading dermatologic organization dedicated to skin of color.
Its mission: advancing research, education, mentorship and advocacy to ensure excellence in patient care across 23 countries.

This year's symposium explored "Championing Evidence-Based Dermatology and Collaboration", featuring sessions on AI in dermatology, inclusive patient care, cutaneous lymphomas, and a keynote by Dr. Regina M. Benjamin, 18th U.S. Surgeon General.

An inspiring community, driven by the same conviction as the Fondation René Touraine: dermatology must move forward for every patient.

Agnès Touraine – Advancing the Mission of the René Touraine Foundation

A recognized figure in the world of corporate governance, Touraine has built an influential career at the intersection of business, strategy and leadership. A graduate of Sciences Po and Columbia University, she has worked with leading organizations such as McKinsey and Hachette, served on the boards of several major companies, and led the Institut Français des Administrateurs (IFA), which promotes best practices in corporate governance.

Today, she is President of the Rexel Group and Vice-Chair of the Board of SNCF.

As the daughter of the renowned dermatologist Professor René Touraine, she also carries a deeply personal connection to the mission of the Foundation. Supporting and advancing its work is therefore particularly meaningful to her.

She now brings her experience and network to help strengthen the Foundation’s international visibility and impact. Skin diseases remain widely underestimated, yet they can profoundly affect patients’ lives and sometimes lead to lifelong disabilities. Raising awareness and supporting research in dermatology therefore remain essential priorities.

Through her engagement, Agnès Touraine contributes to mobilizing new partners and donors, with the ambition of supporting high-impact research projects in the field of rare dermatological diseases and helping dermatology gain the recognition it deserves worldwide.
