“Our theme for this Congress is “Equivolution: Equity and Sustainability in Women’s Health”. This theme will guide our discussions and shape our vision for the future. We will focus not only on environmental sustainability, which is a growing concern for many of our Pacific Island neighbours, but also on the sustainability of our workforce and communities.”

The Asia & Oceania Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (AOFOG) Congress is a major biennial event bringing together clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the region.
“
Often for our members, if you work in private practice or even within your hospital, or in your state of practice, it can feel quite siloed and restricted on creating new networks, professional connections and uncovering new learning opportunities and innovations across clinical approaches and technological revolutions in women’s health. Being involved in international Congresses such as AOFOG has given me the possibility to connect with other specialists and women’s health professionals not just from within Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, but from around the entire Asia and Oceania region. My experience from attending previous AOFOG events has brought home to me that few challenges are totally unique, and the AOFOG Congress expanded my professional networks and approaches to healthcare.
Benjamin Bopp
RANZCOG Past-President
“
Attending the AOFOG Congress in 2024 broadened my professional connections and friendships beyond Australia and New Zealand. I established relationships that have been meaningful and long-lasting, enhancing my clinical knowledge and expertise. Exposure to new ways of thinking, communicating, and problem solving, and connecting with colleagues in our part of the world has been refreshing. It’s expanded my world.
Attending an AOFOG Congress is an opportunity to explore new innovations in technology, pharmaceuticals, medical innovation, and different ways of practising clinical medicine. It offers the opportunity to learn from each other, appreciate cultural differences and to approach women’s health in a broader context, as well as meeting new friends and colleagues in a stimulating, warm and welcoming environment.
Vijay Roach
RANZCOG Past-President
“
I enjoy the opportunity to attend the AOFOG Congress as it provides an opportunity to expand my professional network and develop lasting professional friendships across the Asia and Oceania region. Being able to connect with colleagues from such a diverse range of countries and learn about innovations in women’s health is one of the main reasons I keep returning. Since attending the previous AOFOG Congress, I have been able to apply technologies and ideas I discovered there to further my research projects in Australia. Every healthcare system approaches challenges a little differently, and there is always something innovative to learn from colleagues throughout the region.
