History
In 1985, along with Margaret McKenzie and the late Joan Moultrie, Deborah Bush founded a regional endometriosis support group.
Their vision was to support people suffering with endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. In 1994 Deborah developed the group further into a Registered Charitable Trust, known as the New Zealand Endometriosis Foundation Incorporated (NZEF), operating now as Endometriosis New Zealand (ENZ).
For over 35 years Deborah Bush led Endometriosis New Zealand to be at the forefront of internationally recognised services and programmes. The organisation has had a global influence in the field and has significantly influenced early recognition of endometriosis symptoms and timely intervention in New Zealand.
Tens of thousands of people, throughout New Zealand and abroad have contacted ENZ over the years – many desperate for information and support. The passion and drive to change the course of history of endometriosis, has relied on the unique skills and talents from within the organisation setting global standards of excellence in developing and delivering initiatives, providing services, and fostering research. ENZ has been a major player in contributing to facilitate the wellness of endometriosis sufferers everywhere.
