Join Kate Wahl and I in this enlightening episode as we explore the multifaceted implications of the phrase 'endometriosis is a public health issue.’ Together, we unravel the complexity of the condition, shedding light on its far-reaching consequences for individuals and society as a whole.
We explore ways patients can actively participate in making the action plan a reality. From grassroots advocacy to leveraging social media and engaging with policymakers, we share practical tips on how individuals can contribute to the cause and secure much-needed support and awareness for endometriosis in Canada.
Kate Wahl is a UBC graduate researcher focused on advancing sexual and reproductive health and has co-led a study on menstrual health and endometriosis education in schools. In this episode we dive into what endometriosis is, what can be done to help bridge the gaps to expert care, the goal of the Canadian national action plan for endometriosis, EndoAct advocacy toolkit and how we as patients can help make change happen locally.
