The first EU Continence Health Summit is taking place on 8 November in Brussels (BE), with stakeholders coming together to achieve substantial change in policies relating to incontinence across Europe.
Urinary incontinence is a medical problem that affects a wide range of people in Europe. While older people may be most commonly affected, many other individuals also suffer from continence problems, whether they are pregnant or have just given birth, are being treated for cancer or have neurological or mental health conditions. Projected demographic changes are likely to contribute to an increase in the prevalence of continence problems in the years to come.
During the summit, the EU Continence Health Manifesto will be presented, including topline calls to action to underscore the need for action and provide policymakers with a policy vision that can drive tangible change.
ERN eUROGEN will be represented by John Heesakkers, our Research Lead for Workstream 2 and Expertise Area Coordinator for EA 2.1 Complicated & complex pelvic floor disorders, who will take part in a panel discussion on the manifesto.
