FOGSI has close links and affiliation with international and regional organizations like FIGO, AOFOG and SAFOG, with many of its members having occupied prestigious positions in these organizations from time to time.
Each year FOGSI under the guidance the President selects a theme to highlight the importance of a particular issue related to women’s health. This permits focus with the involvement of the large membership, FOGSI’s greatest asset in addressing the challenge involving the particular issue. In recent years the unidimensional theme has now evolved into a philosophical directive.
The Federation is always conscious of the responsibility it shoulders and the important role it has accepted to work not just for it’s members societies and professionals, but in working to advocate and improving the health of women in our country thereby contributing to the wellbeing of India.
