Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion

Ms Amanda Jackson:

I have seen four different specialists over 19 years. Not one of them connected the mesh to my injury. I attended two mesh inquiry clinics. I was told at the second one, in Holles Street hospital, that my injuries were nothing to do with my mesh. If women are being told that their injuries are not connected to the mesh, then they do not know. There needs to be an information campaign in the media to inform women because their doctors are not informing them.
