ADVANCING WOMEN’S HEALTH EDUCATION

Abbott spotlights women’s healthcare education commitment at World Congress of Menopause.

This week at the World Congress of Menopause scientific meeting, leading gynecology and endocrinology experts from around the world discussed the latest science and medical information for menopause management. Led by the International Menopause Society and its chapters worldwide, experts shared their global and local experience in helping women manage this stage of life and health. Among medical topics, discussions on how menopause impacts a woman’s quality of life were also shared.

“At Abbott we want to help advance education, diagnosis and treatment of gynecology healthcare. We want to be a partner to healthcare experts to bring the latest information and therapies to their female patients as they enter different stages of life, like menopause. Being part of scientific exchanges like at the 14th World Congress of Menopause helps in sharing the latest insights to help women live their healthiest lives,” said Claire-Pexman Fieth, Senior Medical Director, Women’s Health at Abbott.
