Dear colleagues and friends,

It is my sincere pleasure to invite you to the 17th International Congress of the Association of Gynecologists and Obstetricians of Serbia, Montenegro and the Republic of Srpska (UGOSCGRS) which will be held from December 3rd – 5th, 2020. This year, we meet with the same mission to strengthen connections between gynecologists-obstetricians of the region but enriched with new experiences.

Since the Association has re-established its work, we have not hesitated to invest all our efforts to improve the work of the Association, predominantly by means of organization of annual meetings since 2015 (in 2015 and 2017 in Serbia, in 2016 and 2019 in Montenegro and in 2018 in Republic of Srpska), but also by participation in other regional and international meetings.

Many things have happened since our last Congress in Bečići in September 2019. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as a profession, we have faced one of the greatest challenges in modern history. We had to learn quickly and to adjust to new circumstances without possibility to take a break and think it through, even in the most difficult moments. Extremely difficult times usually bring out the best of each of us. So it was the same with Gynecology and Obstetrics and that is something we should all be proud of.

Having in mind that course of COVID-19 pandemics is fairly predictable and that the health of everyone is the most important, we have decided to organize this year’s meeting as an on-line event.

This year Faculty of Medicine (University of Belgrade) celebrates 100 years since it was established and our Congress is a part of the celebration of this wonderful jubilee.

We are sincerely honored that this congress is supported by FIGO. FIGO Presidential Session will host the following eminent speakers: Prof. Carlos Fuchtner – FIGO President, Prof. Faysal El Kak – Vice President, Prof. Jeanne Conry – President-Elect, Prof. Chittaranjan Purandare – Past President, Prof. Dame Lesley
