In 2008, the World Health Assembly passed resolution WHA61.16 on the elimination of FGM, emphasizing the need for concerted action in all sectors: health, education, finance, justice and women's affairs.

Doctor's Choice remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering timely and practical solutions to the healthcare sector, ensuring that optimal patient care and operational efficiency are always achieved.

Since then, WHO has developed a global strategy against FGM medicalization with partner organizations and continues to support countries in its implementation.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The practice has no health benefits for girls and women and cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Doctor's Choice took swift action to fill the void left by the discontinued P850A probe covers. The result is the Doctor's Choice DC850A thermometer probe cover, meticulously engineered to be a perfect fit for Alaris Tri-Site™, Turbo Temp™, and Temp-Plus II™ devices. With an unwavering commitment to preserving hygiene and accuracy, Doctor's Choice designed the DC850A to meet the exacting standards that healthcare professionals demand.

Type 3: Also known as infibulation, this is the narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the labia minora, or labia majora, sometimes through stitching, with or without removal of the clitoral prepuce/clitoral hood and glans.

The practice of FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against girls and women. It is nearly always carried out by traditional practitioners on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. The practice also violates a person's rights to health, security and physical integrity; the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; and the right to life, in instances when the procedure results in death. In several settings, there is evidence suggesting greater involvement of health care providers in performing FGM due to the belief that the procedure is safer when medicalized. WHO strongly urges health care providers not to perform FGM and has developed a global strategy and specific materials to support health care providers against medicalization.

NOVI, MI, UNITED STATES, December 28, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an era where the healthcare industry faces unceasing challenges, adaptability and innovation have never been more vital. Doctor's Choice, a leading provider of medical supplies and solutions, is proud to introduce a groundbreaking product that is revolutionizing healthcare settings worldwide – the Doctor's Choice DC850A thermometer probe cover. Specifically designed as a superior alternative to the discontinued P850A probe covers, the DC850A has rapidly become the preferred choice for healthcare professionals seeking a dependable and compatible solution for their Alaris Tri-Site™, Turbo Temp™, and Temp-Plus II™ devices.

The reasons why FGM is performed vary from one region to another as well as over time and include a mix of sociocultural factors within families and communities.

As healthcare professionals worldwide seek dependable alternatives to the discontinued P850A probe covers, Doctor's Choice DC850A has emerged as the preferred solution. Its precision fit, commitment to hygiene, and ease of transition make it the ideal choice for hospitals and medical facilities.

For years, P850A probe covers have been a trusted fixture in healthcare settings, ensuring precise temperature measurements while upholding the highest hygiene standards. However, when production of the P850A probe covers ceased, healthcare providers faced an unexpected challenge – the need for a suitable replacement. This sudden discontinuation left many hospitals and medical facilities in a precarious situation, searching for a product that could seamlessly fit their existing equipment without compromising quality.

WHO supports a holistic health sector response to FGM prevention and care, by developing guidance and resources for health workers to prevent FGM and manage its complications and by supporting countries to adapt and implement these resources to local contexts. WHO also generates evidence to improve the understanding of FGM and what works to end this harmful practice.

FGM has no health benefits, and it harms girls and women in many ways. It involves removing and damaging healthy and normal female genital tissue, and it interferes with the natural functions of girls' and women's bodies. Although all forms of FGM are associated with increased risk of health complications, the risk is greater with more severe forms of FGM.

However, with WHO’s support and training, many health care providers are becoming advocates for FGM abandonment within the clinical setting and with their families and communities.

Hospitals and medical facilities that have made the switch to Doctor's Choice DC850A probe covers have reported remarkable success stories. These facilities have experienced seamless transitions, enabling them to continue providing optimal patient care without interruptions. The DC850A's ability to deliver reliable temperature measurements while maintaining the highest hygiene standards has been a game-changer for healthcare providers.

Type 4: This includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, e.g., pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area.

Type 2: This is the partial or total removal of the clitoral glans and the labia minora (the inner folds of the vulva), with or without removal of the labia majora (the outer folds of skin of the vulva).

FGM is mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and adolescence, and occasionally on adult women. According to available data from 30 countries where FGM is practiced in the western, eastern, and north-eastern regions of Africa, and some countries in the Middle East and Asia, more than 200 million girls and women alive today have been subjected to the practice with more than 3 million girls estimated to be at risk of FGM annually. FGM is therefore of global concern.

Type 1: This is the partial or total removal of the clitoral glans (the external and visible part of the clitoris, which is a sensitive part of the female genitals), and/or the prepuce/clitoral hood (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoral glans).
