A/Prof Martin Healey
A/Prof Martin Healey is a well-regarded gynaecologist in the field of endometriosis. He is the head of unit for Gynaecology 2 at the Royal Women’s Hospital, which provides focused care for women with endometriosis and pelvic pain. Martin has completed a Doctorate of Medicine on the topic of Endometriosis, Pain and Inflammation and currently leads his research unit which has an increasingly high output of publications and presentations. He also directs an advanced laparoscopic surgical fellowship training program. He has a passion for research which will specifically enable better care for women with the combination of endometriosis and infertility.
