Watch our first 2022 educational webinar led by Dr Shalini Arunogiri, joined by Dr Bern Hard as they discuss the problems faced by opioid-dependent women and their specific needs from treatment services.

- Issues faced by opioid-dependent women and potential benefits of treatment with LAB formulations
- Women’s experiences in different treatment scenarios for opioid dependence (pregnant women, women with children [including those breastfeeding], and certain occupations including nurses)
