SA journalist wins global award

Three journalists from South Africa, Poland and the United States received the Embrace Award last week, a global initiative that recognizes accurate, responsible and sensitive reporting on urinary incontinence (UI).

The independent Embrace Award judging panel consisting of leading health journalists and incontinence specialists selected the journalists Mandy Collins (True Love magazine, South Africa), Pawel Walewski (Polityka, Poland) and Professor Barry Weiss (American Family Physician, USA) to receive this award.

These journalists have won trips to the homelands of some of the world's most renowned authors, including Russia (Leo Tolstoy), the USA (Ernest Hemingway) and Ireland (James Joyce).

The second Embrace Award is now open for entries until June 2006. Journalists from print, online and broadcast media are welcome to submit an entry to the award on all topics relating to the cause, prevalence, management and impact of urinary incontinence.

The Embrace Award is jointly sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and Boehringer Ingelheim.
