Saturday 1 May is Mesh Awareness Day, and the beginning of Mesh Awareness Month.
This is a time to acknowledge the many women whose lives and wellbeing have been impacted due to complications associated with pelvic mesh.
This year’s mesh awareness anniversary is also an opportunity to highlight the significant initiatives that have been undertaken to safeguard women from similar experiences.
A Senate Inquiry (2018) into pelvic mesh complications prompted important changes to the nation’s health system, including the establishment of a $2.3m Commonwealth-funded clinical registry. The Australasian Pelvic Floor Procedure Registry (APFPR), hosted by Monash University, is a national quality initiative that aims to register all women undergoing pelvic mesh procedures.
