June 17-23 2024 is World Continence Week (WCW)! WCW is an annual initiative devised and managed by WFIPP (World Federation for Incontinence and Pelvic Problems), with the endorsement and support of the International Continence Society (ICS), European Association of Urology(EAU) and the Ibero-American Society of Neurourology and Urogynaecology (SINUG).
It is a global initiative intended to raise awareness of bladder & bowel issues, chronic pelvic pain and other debilitating conditions which impact greatly on the lives of patients, families and carers. The main themes for 2024 are Shared Decision Making, Incontinence and Mental Health and Commitment to Collaboration in Continence Care (the 4 C’s Project).
The objective of WCW is to raise global awareness of such conditions and help remove stigmas and taboos via events, publications, press releases and more. In so doing, WFIPP aims to provide a reliable and easily accessible forum for those seeking information – patients, families, carers, healthcare professionals, institutions (scientific and academic), industry, and patient advisory groups around the world.
