Published 3 weeks ago
Description
An endometriosis advocacy group is praising New Zealand's commitment to finally easing the diagnosis burden.
The Government's launching new criteria mid-next year, supporting GPs to make the diagnosis and treat it immediately.
At the moment, women are waiting a decade to be diagnosed.
World Endometriosis Society Senior Ambassador Deborah Bush told Mike Hosking advocates have been working in this space for years.
