MedConnect | Endometriosis: Behind the pain

When

Wednesday 3 September from 5:30pm to 8pm

From silent suffering to systemic change, endometriosis is finally being heard. But is it truly understood?

Join us as UNSW Medicine & Health proudly presents MedConnect | Endometriosis: Behind the pain, hosted by Sydney Morning Herald Health Editor, Kate Aubusson on Wednesday 3 September at the Sydney Masonic Centre.

This thought-provoking panel will explore the often-overlooked realities of endometriosis — a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide. From misdiagnosis and fertility challenges to the emotional toll, the discussion will highlight how endometriosis exposes deeper gaps in women’s healthcare, research, and funding.

Yet this is also a story of hope and change. Hear from leading gynaecologists, women’s health specialists, and passionate advocates, and discover the latest insights and innovations. This includes the recently launched Ainsworth Endometriosis Research Institute at UNSW, a world-first initiative dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by endometriosis.

Stay for drinks and canapés after the panel discussion to network with our panel and community.

Be part of the movement driving change and reshaping health together.
