Vitiligo International Patient Organisations Committee (VIPOC) is the global alliance of vitiligo patient organisations founded in 2018 and based in Paris.

In the VIPOC, representatives of patient organizations, scientists and physicians bring together their visions, expertise, projects, etc.
The Dutch patient association Vitiligo.nl is an active member of the VIPOC.

Another VIPOC conference will be held from December 13 to 15, this time in Cairo.

Our association is represented here by our chairman Paul Monteiro and the treasurer Ed Halmans.
Renowned researchers, practitioners and pharmaceutical experts from all over the world come together to exchange knowledge and experiences.
In Cairo, there is extensive discussion about (global) guidelines by vitiligo experts and chairmen of vitiligo patient associations and of course about new therapies and drugs in development and current and future research.
