Mesh Awareness Month

May 1 is International Mesh Awareness Day, marking the start of Mesh Awareness Month.

The observance is to highlight the complications suffered by women who have had mesh implants to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

On the eve of International Mesh Awareness Day in 2025, the South Australian Government issued a formal apology to the hundreds of South Australians injured by pelvic mesh implants over decades.
