🌎 June 15–21 is World Continence Week!
IUGA is proud to support this global campaign dedicated to raising awareness of bladder and bowel disorders, chronic pelvic pain, and other conditions that affect millions of people worldwide.
Urinary incontinence affects an estimated 55–60 million Europeans, yet it remains largely absent from major European Union health policy discussions.
Together with the European Association of Urology (EAU) and the MEP Interest Group on Continence Health, we support efforts to elevate the voices of patients and healthcare professionals and advocate for greater recognition of incontinence within health policy.

By fostering dialogue among patients, clinicians, and policymakers, this event aims to advance awareness, improve care pathways, and strengthen policy attention for continence health.
