Beyond The Waiting Room: Webinar Series
In collaboration with the IUGA Communications Committee, IUGAPAC has launched a new patient-centered webinar series, “Beyond the Waiting Room.”
The series has been developed to provide an interactive and accessible platform where patients, healthcare professionals, and experts can come together to discuss pelvic health topics, share experiences, and exchange practical information.
The first webinar in the series was held on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 8:00 PM UTC, in collaboration with the Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support (APOPS), focusing on pelvic organ prolapse.
