The Danish Association changed its
name last year to come "in line" with the various Continence
Foundations and is now called Kontinensforeningen instead of
Dansk lnkontinensforening. Our President is Dr Gunnar Lose;
our Chairman is Nurse Bodil Hansen, and our Secretary
General is Jette Balslev. The office is open for telephone
calls, Monday-Friday 9:00-16.00.
We publish a quarterly Newsletter of 20 pages, Kontinens Nyt. We
hold public meetings approximately four times a year and workshops
for home care and hospital staff, in close cooperation with doctors
and continence nurses. Our funding came mainly from public funds in
1997 and 1998, supplemented by some private funding too. We have
approximately 900 members.
