This week, the International Urogynecology Journal released the White Paper; Chronic Maternal Pelvic Morbidity: A Neglected Tragedy, Where is Pelvic Maternal Morbidity in Maternal and Child Health?
Aparna Hegde, together with Judith Goh, Rohna Kearney, Yu Hwee Tan, Cristiane Carboni, Karishma Thariani, Zelalem Mengistu, and Maria Giroux, authored the white paper, with the FIUGA Board championing and supporting its development.
FIUGA and IUGA are proud to see this work published and thanks the authors for creating such a meaningful contribution.
The paper brings overdue attention to preventable and treatable pelvic floor disorders after childbirth that still remain widely unrecognized, and it fuels the Statement of our Global Call to Action: Addressing Chronic Maternal Pelvic Morbidity.
We invite all members to endorse the paper and help amplify the message through your networks.
