According to #Medicare, imaging a woman's ovaries is worth less dollars than imaging a mans testicles (despite the latter being significantly easier and quicker!) @Mark_Butler_MP @SenKatyG when can Australian women expect better than this? @asumultrasound @asasonography @ranzcog
An ultrasound of the scrotum attracts a higher government rebate than an ultrasound of a breast. It's just one example of the Gender Medicare Gap, that is seeing women paying more for health services. Dr Kara Thompson shares more. womensagenda.com.au/latest/t…

Today is international pregnancy and infant loss Remembrance Day. If, like me, you work with patients everyday who have lost, or are in the process of losing their baby, this paper explains why what we say to our patients and how we say it can have an impact on their experience.
23 million miscarriages take place every year worldwide. For #BabyLossAwareness 2021, #ISUOG is asking our community to recognise the psychological impact and extend their care beyond “diagnosis and treatment” read more from @proftombourne here -bit.ly/3pdy679

It would be great if men, particularly politicians/leaders, could stop saying “as a father of daughters” when expressing dismay at something terrible that’s happened to women. They may not mean it that way, but it sounds like their empathy is only occasioned by their fatherhood.
Even virtual conferences would not be possible without the support of our corporate partners. Thank you for your support!
Thank you to our partners for our first virtual conference. Your support is very much appreciated #ASA2020VIRTUAL
