A platform for education and debate around continence care
The Global Forum on Incontinence (GFI) is a platform for education and debate around continence care. The aim is to improve the health and social care provisions for incontinence, giving patients and care givers a better quality of life.
GFI demonstrate the impact of incontinence on the individual and their caregivers and on society as a whole. Continence care is approached from a holistic perspective. The ambition is to present and discuss both prevention, cure and care options and organization and management aspects.
GFI conferences are held every second year.
The Global Forum on Incontinence is supported by Essity.
