FIGO Programmes

FIGO partners with national associations of obstetricians and gynaecologists to reduce global disparities in healthcare and empower health professionals to become agents for change. Together, we strengthen health systems to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity and advance sexual and reproductive health and rights. 

We bring together the clinical knowledge of our implementing partners and expert advisory groups to implement proven health interventions, informed by the latest global evidence. Through research implementation and advocacy, we amplify the collective voice of obstetricians and gynaecologists to hold governments and health systems accountable for women's and girls' health and rights worldwide.  

Across our portfolio of global programmes, we support the most critical health interventions for the most underserved women. Our global programmes contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal number 3, especially goals 3.1 (reducing maternal mortality) and 5.6 (access to sexual and reproductive health rights).
