International Gynaecological Awareness Day Progress
After our meeting on 12th July 2018 with the President of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Vice-President of Global Health to discuss their support of the International Gynaecological Awareness Day (IGAD) campaign. I am more than elated to say they have agreed to celebrate IGAD.
A short history: Jeanette Preston (UK Founder of Pants Cancers) and myself as cancer survivors visited the college in 2008 to seek support for IGAD which was the planted seed to see this day come to fruition. So I encourage others to join in the campaign to help share greater education and acceptance as said by the President that Gynaecological Health should not be TABOO. Thanking all those who have supported in the past.

I can see through the International Gynaecological Awareness Day 10 September 10 annually can truly help break down the barriers and stigmas and help education in the global society .
