Ducray and its commitment to patient associations

Ducray Dermatological Laboratories collaborate with 14 patient associations worldwide to improve the management of their pathologies and their quality of life. Relationships with these associations enable us to enrich data on patient priorities. The aim is to involve associations in every phase of dermo-cosmetic product development, so as to meet their expectations perfectly. Laboratoires Dermatologiques Ducray also support associations' initiatives by making samples and products available, communicating about their initiatives and sponsoring events.

Forging links with patient associations

With patients at the heart of the new healthcare system guidelines, they have become a key player in today's world. Patient associations are becoming increasingly mobilized, and are making their voices heard by government bodies.
Laboratoires Dermatologiques Ducray collaborates with 14 patient associations worldwide. Our common goal is to pool all information on their pathologies and lifestyles in order to improve their care, promote clinical innovation and best serve their interests.

Looking beyond symptoms to improve patients' quality of life

Ducray Dermatological Laboratories' raison d'être is to improve the quality of life of people with fragile skin and scalps. Listening to expert patients is essential to better understand their experiences and expectations. The relationships we maintain with patient associations help to enrich our data on their priorities. Our ambition is to involve them in every phase of dermo-cosmetic product development, so that our products perfectly meet their expectations in terms of efficacy, tolerance and ease of use.

Supporting patient associations and their initiatives

These associations are involved on a daily basis with patients seeking advice and support tailored to their needs. They also organize discussion groups, conferences and awareness-raising campaigns for sufferers and the general public alike, to help improve understanding and acceptance of dermatological disorders.

In support of these associations, Laboratoires Dermatologiques Ducray provides samples and dermo-cosmetic products, helps to communicate their initiatives by regularly publishing information on its websites and social networks, and sponsors meetings and webinars at the end of which we gather feedback from participants. We are also able to provide financial support for some of their projects, for example, by setting up endowments from time to time.
