Mesh Down Under

Summary

Across the world, people are suffering from life-altering and serious chronic pain conditions caused by surgical mesh complications.

Mesh Down Under are a New Zealand based campaign group whose mission is to:

• raise awareness amongst New Zealanders about the complications that are not rare with the use of surgical mesh. 
• provide information to enable anyone considering having surgical mesh surgery, particularly women having pelvic floor or bladder sling repairs, to be fully informed before consenting to this surgery.
• shout out to our health professionals and government bodies so that patient stories are no longer 'news to them' but an acknowledged public health issue that needs to be addressed.
• highlight the importance of reporting adverse events associated with medical devices.
