PLENARY 3. Neglected needs of women’s health: Tackling FGS (Teach to Reach 6)

Poor connectivity? Listen to this session in our podcast https://www.learning.foundation/podcast Are you concerned about the neglected needs of women’s health? Do you know about Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS)? Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) has been described as one of the most neglected sexual and reproductive health problems in sub-Saharan Africa, with approximately 56 million women and girls infected. In May and June 2021, over 300 health care professionals in Sub-Saharan Africa participated in the FAST package workshop on Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) led by Bridges to Development in partnership with the Geneva Learning Foundation. This global, fully-digital community has blossomed into a nascent movement connecting more than 5,000 health care professionals with a shared interest in tackling FGS. In this Experience Sharing event, you will hear from these practitioners about their successes, lessons learned and challenges. You are invited to listen, learn, and share with colleagues from endemic countries who are taking steps to prevent, diagnose, and treat FGS. Join us to share experience and listen to remarkable success stories, lessons learned, and ongoing challenges.
