Autumn is leaving, winter is just around the corner. 

The team of the Fondation René Touraine wishes you all a wonderful winter!

Editorial

The end of the year is approaching and it’s time for us to share with you the news of our ongoing and forthcoming projects for 2025.

As you may know, the Fondation René Touraine is a foundation of public utility and has been at the service of dermatology developing actions to support patient care for more than 30 years.

Skin diseases often lead to social exclusion and a lot of people in the world have limited access to appropriate care and to too expensive treatments. Thanks to our health networks we are taking action on these points. 

This is the reason why, like every year, we are writing to you and counting on your generosity to support us in the realization of our projects.

We wish you a happy holiday season!
