Welcome to the FIGO Website

FIGO – the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics – is the only organisation that brings together professional societies of obstetricians and gynecologists on a global basis. Currently we have member societies in 113 countries or territories.

Our mission is to promote the well-being of women and their children and to raise the standard of practice in obstetrics and gynecology around the world. We strive to ensure respect for women and advancement of their status and promoting greater involvement of women in our specialty.

The Federation commits its resources to the promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights through educational, research and advocacy activities and to strengthening its communication links with its member societies and between its member societies.
There is a wealth of detail on our activities on this Website and I very much hope that you enjoy reading about them!
