About us

Established in 2006, the World Federation for Incontinence and Pelvic Problems (WFIPP) is a federation of national (patient) organizations or institutions that aims to create a global visibility for incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction, whereby the key objectives are awareness, advocacy and action.

WFIPP is mostly comprised of patient advocacy organizations, though doctors, non-government organizations, and non-commercial entities are welcome to become members of the WFIPP.

OUR VISION

The vision of WFIPP is to create a world where people living with all forms of pelvic floor dysfunction(s) can enjoy a high quality of life, play an active role in society and have access to appropriate treatments.
