Western Sydney women are invited to celebrate International Women’s Day 2016, in partnership with the Community Migrant Resource Centre, at Westmead Hospital on Friday, March 11.

Westmead Hospital obstetrician, gynaecologist and head of maternal foetal medicine Dr Indika Alahakoon will share her story of growing up in Sri Lanka, migrating to Australia and qualifying in maternal foetal medicine.

The theme, Pledge for Parity: Celebrating Women of Diverse Cultures, focuses on the health needs and issues of women from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Dr Alahakoon will also share her experiences in managing complicated pregnancies and helping women reach the goal of motherhood while juggling her own four children.

WHY INDIA’S POPULATION NEED TO BE DOWNSIZED SIGNIFICANTLY ? – By N.S.Venkataraman

Westmead Hospital maternity liaison officer Nelma Galas said: “Across Western Sydney Local Health District, 42.7 per cent of our population speak a language other than English.

“The feedback I receive from women and my colleagues who attend the event is encouraging; some of these women now feel comfortable talking to their GP or health professionals about sensitive or taboo issues, they are now accessing health services that they were previously unaware of.

“I encourage everyone to join us to commemorate and celebrate the enormous contribution of women and wear traditional national costumes for the occasion.”

Bookings essential: 9845 6153 or nelma.galas@health.nsw.gov.au
