It also includes "two foreign experts, Dr Rizwan Hamid Consultant Urologist and Clinical Lead for Neuro-urology and Mr Eskinder Solomon, Consultant Clinical Scientist at University College London" as well as four faculty members of the Pakistani institute.
The training session, which will comprise "lectures and live case demonstrations" by gynaecologists and urologists from all over Pakistan, will talk about urodynamics, "especially on female patients from gynaecological disorders and male patients with dysfunction of bladder, urethra, and lower urinary tract symptoms".
"The course will also address the paediatric population for the diagnosis of congenital anomalies and reflux," the press release added.
"Recently some latest features of urodynamics study have been included at SIUT that will help in reaching a scientific diagnosis to make the choice of treatment either by minimally invasive surgery as well as more extensive reconstructive surgery."
