Doutoranda Miriam Camas, aluna HUB OMS - CEMICAMP compartilha sua experiência no painel técnico “Technical discussion – HRP Alliance hub presentation”
Dr. Luis Bahamondes delivers a lecture at the 16th Obstetrics and Gynecology Meeting of Tocantins.
The President of CEMICAMP, Dr. Luis Bahamondes, was one of the speakers at the 16th Obstetrics and Gynecology Meeting of Tocantins, recently held in Palmas from March 9 to 11, 2023, by SOGITO. During his presentation, he discussed Advances in Contraception and the importance of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) for women's reproductive health. He emphasized that these methods are highly effective and safe, with very low failure rates, and can be inserted immediately after childbirth without affecting breastfeeding.
Additionally, the research conducted by his doctoral student Fabiana Cândida, who studied pain classification during IUD insertion in adolescents with her research team, was presented. The study assessed pain and discomfort during IUD insertion in adolescents using a numerical pain scale and a subjective assessment questionnaire. The results showed that pain was reported as moderate by most adolescents, but the majority reported that the insertion was easier than they had expected.

International Women's Day 2023
On this International Women's Day, it is important to recognize and value the work of women. Here at CEMICAMP, our team is mostly female and our women work in the area of reproductive health in the most diverse fields of research and in a multidisciplinary way.
The work of these women is fundamental for the promotion of the health and well-being of other women, and their dedication and competence are an inspiration for all who fight for their rights and for a more just and egalitarian society in terms of gender and sexuality.
