National strategy to combat endometriosis and endometriosis networks in France

This paper describes a national strategy for combating endometriosis in France, including the development and organization of regional “endometriosis networks” or care pathways (“filières endométriose”) that bring together community clinicians, hospital professionals, and patient associations. It builds on prior work by the French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF) endometriosis commission, created in 2017, which in 2018 published definitions for expert centers, and it references a 2019 ministerial request for each region to identify its endometriosis network. The main limitation is that the text provided is largely policy/organizational description rather than a study with explicit methodological or outcome evaluation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it outlines France’s national strategy and the creation of regional endometriosis networks and expert centers.
