These experts share valuable insights on transitioning from initial care to long-term independence, including crucial discussions on sexual health and fertility options. Dr Konstantinidis addresses fertility possibilities for both men and women, whilst Dr Rapidi emphasises the importance of comprehensive rehabilitation approaches.
