Actualmente en Uruguay existen aproximadamente 147.607 personas nacidas como mujer menores de 64 años que padecen endometriosis, sin embargo, no existe una legislación que las ampare. El proyecto que el Parlamento busca impulsar en este momento no representa al grupo de pacientes, tiene un fuerte conflicto de intereses y pone el foco en la fertilidad y no así en la calidad de vida que es lo que nos urge alcanzar.

Ese proyecto no es inclusivo, no contempla un abordaje integral actualizado y vanguardista, no tuvo en cuenta la perspectiva de las personas que conviven con la enfermedad y se nos ha negado toda oportunidad de intercambio a pesar de haberla solicitado por los medios correspondientes.

Es vital tener una ley representativa de todos los pacientes cuanto antes como la que propone Endouruguay: sin banderas políticas, inclusiva, actualizada y sin intereses económicos de por medio.

Currently in Uruguay there are approximately 147,607 people born as women under 64 years of age who suffer from endometriosis, however, there is no legislation to protect them. The project that the Parliament is trying to promote at the moment doesn't represent the group of patients, has a strong conflict of interests and focuses on fertility and not on quality of life, which is what we urgently need to achieve.

This project is not inclusive, it doesn't contemplate an updated and avant-garde integral approach, it did not take into account the perspective of the people who live with the disease and we have been denied any opportunity for exchange despite having requested it through the corresponding means.

It is vital to have a law representative of all patients as soon as possible, such as the one proposed by Endouruguay: without political flags, inclusive, updated and without economic interests in between.
