Why was ENDOFORUM POLAND created?
The conference is a response to the huge social needs, as well as the need to educate the medical community in the multiple aspects of endometriosis - a chronic disease affecting nearly 2 million Polish women, causing infertility, health, psychological, social, and financial problems, and when not diagnosed on time - leading to serious, life-long effects on women's health, including disability.
It is worth mentioning that after many years of efforts of the suffering women, through the activities of social foundations, as well as appeals made by doctors dealing with endometriosis, on March 8, 2023, the Ministry of Health approved an expert endometriosis Team. The goal is to establish a treatment system and reference centers dealing with endometriosis patients suffering from this challenging and socially harming disease. Among the experts working on the Team are Prof. Ewa Milnerowicz-Nabzdyk and Dr. Paweł Siekierski, who will chair ENDOFORUM POLAND together.
