The videos, titled “Catheterization of the bladder" and “Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone (LLETZ)", will be featured on the YouTube channel of the WHO's Reproductive Health Library. Mr Willie Myburgh from the Film and Television unit is responsible for the recording and production of the videos.
