WHRIA’s philosophy focuses on holistic patient care and education to improve women’s quality of life, and self efficacy. Our team strives to improve diagnosis, treatment and management of our patients by actively participating in local and international clinical research and educational events. We aim to pass this on via regular education events for health professionals.
