HS Connect Global homepage — one voice for HS, everywhere in the world
HS Connect Global
One voice for HS,
everywhere in the world.
We work alongside patients, practitioners, and advocates across the globe — understanding the gaps in HS care and resources, and building what’s needed to fill them.
Who we are
Our mission
“One global organisation, locally rooted. We establish HS Connect hubs and partner with local allies to improve patient care, close resource gaps, and build a world where no one faces HS alone.”
What we do
How we work
We go into each country with curiosity — listening first, then building. Every resource we create is grounded in real patient experience and local context.
Listen & learn
We connect with patients and practitioners to understand the real gaps in care and resources in each country.
Build resources
We create translated, culturally relevant education materials — handouts, rack cards, and landing pages in local languages.
Empower advocates
We train emerging patient advocates, establish HS Connect hubs, and support existing local HS organisations.
Drive change
We coordinate global campaigns and influence health systems policy to improve recognition and care for HS worldwide.
