Neglected needs of women's health: 95 plans of action against Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS)

Neglected needs of women's health: 95 FGS workshop participants from Ghana and other countries present their plans of action As part of the FGS Accelerated Scale Together (FAST) project, Bridges to Development in partnership with the Geneva Learning Foundation, 95 health professionals just completed the first Scholar Level 1 certification workshop today. Join this event to hear how 95 graduates of the first FGS Scholar Level 1 certification workshop are taking action to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS). FGS affected an estimated 56 million women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, FGS is typically not part of standard medical training. Health professionals are often not familiar with FGS, leading to misdiagnosis and improper treatment with grave implications for women’s sexual and reproductive health.
