Abstract:

This presentation would aim to cover the struggle to establish urogynaecology services in an under resourced country, where maternal and perinatal mortality are still the staggering issues. The quality of women’s life is still not a priority. I shall start from how we started creating awareness amongst the community, primary health care physicians, secondary and tertiary health care providers. The work presented will include the workshops and conferences conducted and papers presented at national and international forum and Urdu translation of commonly used IUGA patient information leaflets. The range of urogynaecology problems seen in the last 18 months with a referral centre at Lahore, the work done to help out those patients including fistula victims, Pelvic organ prolapse, interstitial cystitis, stress urinary incontinence and it’s surgical managements, Live videos of surgeries performed will be presented, especially for the patients who have had repeated failed attempts at surgical correction by the ill trained people and the difficulty in winning their confidence for a facility as attractive as a free fistula camp conducted by a highly skilled group at our Lahore centre.
