Through the PCOS Together program, supported by @abwomenshealth, Dr. Donna Vine’s team developed new pathways of care for both patients and clinicians. These pathways guide diagnosis, highlight overlooked risks (like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity), and make sure people with PCOS get the information they need early. Today, these pathways are being used in more than 30 countries, turning what was once missing information into life-saving prevention. ____________________ Grâce au programme PCOS Together, soutenu par @abwomenshealth, l’équipe de la Dre Donna Vine a élaboré de nouvelles trajectoires de soins pour les patientes et pour les cliniciens. Ces trajectoires orientent le diagnostic, mettent en lumière des risques souvent négligés (comme les maladies cardiovasculaires, le diabète ou l’obésité) et veillent à ce que les personnes atteintes de SOPK reçoivent tôt l’information dont elles ont besoin. Aujourd’hui, ces trajectoires sont utilisées dans plus de 30 pays, transformant ce manque d’information d’autrefois en une prévention qui peut sauver des vies.
