Great news from Australia for #meshinjured women. A class action lawsuit is holding Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon accountable for #mesh side effects and complications. Thanks for the press release, @meshinjuredaus!
Fantastic news for Australia but for all mesh injured globally! The mounting carnage of Surgical Mesh injuries must stop. Which country will be first to do the right thing! @jacindaardern will you put patient safety first? @simonjbridges@winstonpeters will you?
