We participated in the VI Congress of the Chilean Society of Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor!

On Thursday July 27, Friday July 28 and Saturday July 29, part of our health team attended the VI Congress of the Chilean Society of Urogynecology and Pelvic Floor with the aim of acquiring new tools to continue providing the best care to all our users.

The event held in the city of Viña del Mar, was made up of various activities, both prior to the congress and at the congress itself, where our kinesiologists Belén Sánchez and Macarena Sola, and our nurse and assistant director of health Constanza Olivares, participated in these instances, including the workshop "Chronic Constipation: Self-regulation techniques", where new tools were provided, such as manual therapy, in order to incorporate it in the management of patients with bladder and bowel dysfunctions who are referred to our Corporation.

In addition, one of our Urodynamic Physicians, Dr. Carlos Finsterbusch, participated as a speaker at the Congress with the topic "Transition in pediatric patients with urological pathologies to adult services", making an incredible presentation in front of all the attendees.

Dr. Francisca Yankovic is a pediatric surgeon and urologist who trained at the University of Chile and completed a subspecialty fellowship at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. An associate professor at the University of Chile, director of the Pediatric Urology training program, and past president of the Chilean Society of Pediatric Surgery, she has firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by children with complex urological conditions. For nearly a decade, she has volunteered with Corporación MATER, an experience that has confirmed to her that improving access to healthcare can change a life.
Dr. Renato Gana has been associated with Corporación Mater since its inception. As a pediatric urologist, he participated in the first surgical campaigns and has been part of an initiative that aims to provide specialized surgery to children living in regions where treating certain conditions can be much more difficult.
More than 50 children were able to undergo surgery thanks to new medical campaigns organized by Corporación MATER in collaboration with local health services and various partner institutions.
The MATER Children's Kidney Foundation brought together those who helped it take its first steps to thank them for three decades of support, solidarity, and work on behalf of children throughout Chile.
