National IC Organization Begins in Mexico

Asociación de Cistitis Intersticial México Joins International IC Effort

Founded by Florentina Ferreyra López IC patients in Mexico and Central America now have a new education and support resource. The Asociación de Cistitis Intersticial México was launched on November 6th, 2002. Their new web site, located at: http://www.bcomx.com/aci-mexico, will be the first all spanish web site on interstitial cystitis. The ICN has provided permission for the translation of various portions of our educational materials to be included on their web site. Both the ICN and the IICPN are delighted to provide support and encouragement to this new, desperately needed group.

Mexico and Central America present unique cultural challenges. As Florentina offered "Women rarely talk about their bladder symptoms with family or their doctors. We have much work to do to reach out to those patients and to educate our doctors." Florentina is an IC patient herself. She is dedicated, energetic and passionate about her new group. Mayra Zamora Toscano provides public relations and translation assistance. We would like to welcome both to the international IC community!
