“I would like to thank the World Endometriosis Society for inviting me to join the WES Board as it is a huge honour and recognition of the work achieved so far, though, with poor understanding, poor treatment and poor priority, there is much more to do.”
“I’m also very proud of the team at Endometriosis New Zealand. We are a tiny team and yet we are held in such high regard for our work, including our world-leading education in schools menstrual health programme, called ‘me’ which has received a lot of interest from other countries and Governments,” said Ms Bush.
Earlier in the year, research from the ‘me’ programme was published in the Australia and New Zealand Journal Of Gynaecology, marking another world first for Deborah Bush et al.
The ‘me’ programme has been presented to New Zealand students in Canterbury for 20 years, and has also been rolled out to more students in Nelson, Auckland, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Southland, Otago and Marlborough.
ENZ offers a range of other support and education services, including a workplace programme and resources. More details can be found on www.nzendo.org.nz
