About FIGO World Congress of Gynecology & Obstetrics
FIGO World Congress of Gynecology & Obstetrics
Every
three years since FIGO was founded in 1954, thousands of gynecologists
and obstetricians gather in one city to spend a week not only analyzing
and discussing new medical discoveries but also looking at problems and
issues that can be addressed by the application of low cost
techniques. The site for the World Congress rotates between the
Africa-Eastern Mediterranean, Asia-Oceania, Europe, Latin America and
North America regions of FIGO. The site is selected six years in
advance by a majority vote at the General Assembly.
FIGO Congress Organizing Committee
The FIGO Congress Organizing Committee is responsible for all
aspects of the organisation of the World Congress and in addition has a
brief to investigate the feasibility of intermediate regional meetings,
seminars or workshops according to perceived needs.
Planning of the scientific programme for the Congress is delegated to a dedicated Scientific Programme Committee.
Scientific Programme
The Scientific Programme is one of the most important elements of
any FIGO World Congress and consists of seminars, “meet the experts”
sessions, debates, plenary sessions, discussions on new technology, new
developments, updates and interactive sessions. The programme
invariably includes free oral communications sessions and sponsored
symposia.
