Joining me in this episode are two public health experts, Jessica McKinney and Laura Keyser, who have dedicated a significant portion of their careers to finding solutions for urinary incontinence and related pelvic floor disorders affecting African women. We will explore the challenges and opportunities for tackling pelvic floor disorders in Africa. We will also delve into their groundbreaking work on the development of a promising medical device that is designed to address urinary incontinence more effectively than other currently available treatment options. This device is known as the Leva® Pelvic Health System. For more information please visit: https://www.levatherapy.com/
