APUrtica was created during the COVID-19 pandemic to help to improve urticaria patients’ quality of life. Even though they still have a small number of members, they are working and actively looking for help and partners to strengthen the association. Since 2021, they have organized virtual events with patients, working on promoting the association focusing on Mental Health issues. They also are actively helping HCPs in the first Portuguese epidemiological study of Urticaria.
