To improve endometriosis care in France, the Collège national des gynécologues obstétriciens français (CNGOF) defined expert centers. These centers will offer comprehensive care, research, and education for endometriosis patients.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Surgical Gynecology
- Reproductive Medicine
Background:
- Endometriosis significantly impacts women's health and incurs substantial economic costs in France.
- Existing endometriosis care requires optimization through specialized centers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define the structure and function of endometriosis expert centers in France.
- To establish a framework for optimizing endometriosis patient care nationwide.
Main Methods:
- A multidisciplinary commission was formed by the CNGOF and SCGP in 2017.
- The committee included experts from university hospitals, general hospitals, and private facilities, covering medical, surgical, and radiological aspects.
- Input was gathered from endometriosis patient associations before finalizing the recommendations.
Main Results:
- The contours of endometriosis expert centers were defined, outlining their objectives, operational specifications, and funding.
- Key missions were established, including territorial organization, comprehensive and referral care, communication, teaching, research, and evaluation.
- The framework for these centers was unanimously validated by the CNGOF Board of Directors.
Conclusions:
- The establishment of accredited endometriosis expert centers is crucial due to the condition's impact and economic burden.
- These centers should be implemented nationwide, ideally integrated into the National Health Plan for formal accreditation.
