Dear visitor,
Welcome to the home pages of The Finnish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
The Finnish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (SGY) was founded in 1928 by Professor Seth Wichmann, together with eight other gynaecologists working at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Helsinki University Hospital.
The society communicates with many national and international organisations within the disciplines of perinatology, ultrasound, endocrinology and infertility, oncology, urogynecology and gynecological surgery.
The Finnish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a member of the international organisations FIGO, EBCOG, UEMS, NFOG and IFFS.
The society organises annually two educational meetings for members: one in the spring and the other in the autumn, traditionally in November. The November meeting is also the official annual meeting of The Finnish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. In addition to these general meetings, the society organises smaller meetings for perinatologists, urogynaecologists, infertility specialists and gynaecological oncologists. Seminars for colleagues dedicated to or interested in research, administration and education take place every 2 – 3 years.
The trainees in gynaecology and obstetrics have their own subgroub within the society (EGO) that organises courses twice per year. This training programme rotates every three years.
