Orla McNally

Associate Professor Orla McNally is a prominent gynaecologist and the director of gynaecological oncology at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. She is a strong advocate for the opportunistic removal of Fallopian tubes during abdominal surgeries to significantly reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, a disease that has a high mortality rate among women. McNally emphasizes the importance of this procedure, which has been found to decrease the likelihood of developing lethal ovarian cancer by 78%, and aims to raise awareness about preventive measures to save lives.
