Ann Marie McQueen speaks to Irene Ndagire, a physiotherapist based in Kampala, Uganda.
She runs the Women’s Health Foundation, launched in 2014, and has been advising women on all aspects of menopause. She recently launched Menopause Uganda to help even more people menopause symptoms, fear and other issues associated with the transition. She's also doing something that people working for menopause awareness have not been able to do – involve men. Although women in Uganda face some unique circumstances, you will hear that our similarities are much more than our differences.
