The IPPF engages in awareness and education projects focusing on patients, caregivers, and medical professionals. The IPPF also provides resources for research addressing mechanisms, relapse-trigger identification, disease treatment,and ongoing pharmaceutical and bio-scientific exploration.

MISSION: The IPPF provides direct access to innovative and effective support that promotes the very best health care, improves quality of life, stimulates community resources, advocates for favorable government policies, accelerates the pace of scientific discovery and is the world’s best source of information on pemphigus and pemphigoid.
