World Continence Week - Romania 2013
Education to improve life of patients with incontinence
Background
The International Continence Society identified a need for generating greater awareness of incontinence. As a result, the ICS designated a World Continence Week (WCW) to occur annually in late June. Affiliated organizations world-wide, concerned with improving the quality of life for people with urinary and fecal incontinence, promote awareness of this medical condition.
The goals of World Continence Week – Romania are to generate awareness and educate patients and clinicians about continence issues and to provide contact points for individuals seeking information about continence.
