Earlier this month, the Club des Résidents Étrangers de Monaco hosted two prominent specialists from the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace for a talk and seminar on men’s health. Dr Hervé Quintens, head of urology at the hospital, and Dr Carol Burte, an expert in andrology and sexual medicine, shared their insights and expertise during an engaging and informative session that covered a broad range of topics and key health issues affecting men.

On 16th January , the Club des Résidents Étrangers de Monaco (CREM) welcomed Dr Quintens and Dr Burte to speak about the importance of early screening and regular health assessments—two simple actions that are often overlooked, particularly by the male population. The specialists also discussed the innovative treatments available at CHPG, as well as Monaco’s advanced resources for addressing men’s health challenges, while underscoring the need for proactive measures to maintain well-being.

The pair introduced their audience to two specialised centres at CHPG dedicated to men’s health: the Monaco Prostate Center, a state-of-the-art facility offering a one-day prostate cancer screening pathway where patients can undergo a complete examination, including a prostate MRI and, if needed, a biopsy; and the Sexual Medicine Centre, a multidisciplinary clinic open on Mondays that provides consultations and treatments for a range of sexual health issues.

Dr Quintens and Dr Burte also offered practical advice and encouraged attendees to make better use of the exceptional resources available in Monaco.

The evening’s discussions highlighted the significant role of these centres in bridging gaps between routine medical care and specialist services, with the message that together, they offer men in Monaco comprehensive and accessible solutions for their health needs.

The event aimed to foster awareness and action on men’s health among CREM’s members and their families and friends by promoting prevention and presenting the tailored solutions available in the Principality to address a range of medical concerns.
