We are honoured to have MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen of Finland set the scene of why continence health is such an important cause. By establishing key partnerships and health policies we can create a strong continence health strategy for Europe. @EU_Health

MEP Maria Walsh of Ireland wraps up an informative and foundational 1st EU Continence Health Summit by reinforcing how equality measures must extend to the care economy. There is a critical need for continence care in Europe and the Urge to Act can launch strong positive changes.

Incontinence costs European society over 40 billion Euros per year. New research from the Urge to Act initiative has found that costs associated with incontinence are already high, and expected to climb if no action is taken. Read the press release here: uroweb.org/press-releases/in…
