International Gynaecological Awareness Day celebration – progress
Well what a lead up to the Gynaecological Awareness Day with momentum forging ahead. What’s most exciting was the collaboration with Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology acknowledging and sharing links of women’s issues.
“Today is International Gynaecological Awareness Day, and we’d like to highlight the emotional, social and psychological impacts of living with a gynaecological condition.
