Endometriosis awareness programme set for nationwide rollout

Health minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: 'We have done so much in the last six months, but I also recognise that we have a long way to go to develop the range of services for endometriosis to which women are entitled.'

An education programme about endometriosis, previously run by just two volunteers, is now being supported by the Department of Health for a nationwide rollout.

The MISE (menstrual information specialising in endometriosis) programme raises awareness of this debilitating condition in schools, sports clubs, and workplaces across Ireland.
