IADVL Bihar’s Guinness Bid: Dermatological Disease Awareness Campaign

Patna: The Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL) Bihar Chapter is poised to make history by embarking on a global awareness campaign for dermatological diseases. On May 5, 2024, at 11:00 AM, the IADVL, in collaboration with its IADVL Bihar State Branch, will lead an initiative to set a Guinness World Record for the “Highest Pledges for Dermatological Disease Awareness Campaign in 24 Hours.”

Taking place in Patna, Bihar, the event will see the convergence of the IADVL’s EC body to drive this groundbreaking endeavor. The goal is to bring together 18,000 doctors nationwide, who will gather online to pledge their commitment to raising awareness about dermatological diseases.

Dermatological conditions impact millions globally, causing physical discomfort, emotional distress, and societal stigma. Through this record-setting attempt, IADVL Bihar aims to shine a spotlight on these issues, promote prevention and treatment awareness, and foster community support for those affected.

Dr. Om Prakash, President of IADVL Bihar Chapter, emphasized the collective impact of 18,000 doctors in spreading awareness. “Our aim is not only to achieve a Guinness World Record but also to ignite a nationwide movement for understanding and addressing dermatological diseases,” he said.

The event will feature speeches by prominent dermatologists, personal testimonials, and live updates on the progress toward the Guinness World Record.

The event will be attended by distinguished members of the IADVL, including National President Dr. Manjunath Shenoy, Hon. General Secretary Dr. Bhumesh Kumar Katakam, President Elect R. Rajeev Sharma, Treasurer Dr. SV Kavitha, and other notable figures from the IADVL Bihar State Branch.
