Join us October 12, 19, and 26 for the newest IUGA webinar series! Following the success of the first webinar series organized by the IUGA Regional Advisory Board (RAB) in Africa which took place in June and July 2021, we are delighted to bring you these 3 webinars spanning a range of topics, relevant for our members in Africa, and also likely for those in other parts of the world.
Across Africa and across the world, urogynecology is quite varied in its development. Despite health inequities, many of the basic principles in patient care remain the same. Join us on October 12 for this first webinar in the series focused on “Going Back to Basics.” Corlia Brandt, a physiotherapist in South Africa will discuss pelvic floor physiotherapy and prevention with a focus specifically on treatment in low resource and rural settings. South African urogynecologist, Peter de Jong will then expand on the first consultation of patients with incontinence and will detail how this first meeting may look, including what questions may be asked and answered by the physician.
