A new plan for the treatment of endometriosis in Ireland is set to be announced over the weekend by the HSE.

As it’s been discussed before on this show, endometriosis is a disease that affects women, where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows instead in other parts of the body.

This can lead to patients suffering from chronic, debilitating pain.

The Health Minister has previously acknowledged that endometriosis care in Ireland has been underfunded, under-researched, and is not widely understood.

This new plan is set to address these new issues, but what provisions does it need to include?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Cate O’Connor, Co-Founder of MISE, an educational programme for Irish schools, as well as listeners.
