FIGO’s strength comes from our world-renowned experts, whose knowledge and experience in all aspects of women’s health help shape best practice and innovation. As the Global Voice for Women’s Health, we believe that how a country looks after its women and children demonstrates how that country values its future prosperity. Ultimately, our goal is to improve the health of women and newborns by achieving universal health coverage and wellbeing and access to quality sexual and reproductive health and rights for all women everywhere. With an ambitious work plan, FIGO looks forward to working together with our 132 National Member Societies and partners to achieve our strategic objectives. Our cause could not be more important, nor our commitment more ambitious. FIGO pursues its mission through advocacy, programmatic activities, capacity strengthening of Member Societies, education and training. This mission encompasses the implementation of global projects on specific women's health issues. In addition, our specialist Committees and Working Groups embrace many aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology including oncology, perinatal health, education, safe motherhood, medical terminology, new technology, the pathology of the breast and ethics. We actively collaborate with many other national, regional and global organisations to promote the health and wellbeing of women and to raise the standards of practice in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Story

WATOG One World Exchange

In partnership with FIGO, the World Association of Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynecology (WATOG) is hosting the One World Exchange in conjunction with the XXV FIGO World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics, taking place in Cape Town in October 2025.

OBGYN trainees selected to become a One World Exchange Fellow will come together with trainees in South Africa to learn from each other and about the latest research from global leaders, improve their education, and widen their perspectives.

As part of the exchange, trainees will participate in a three-day observership in South African hospitals and attend scientific sessions together. The culmination of the exchange will be attendance at FIGO Cape Town 2025. Such experiences will inspire them to continue growing as specialists, advocates and researchers to seek innovative answers to the issues facing women and girls’ health and rights.
