Details

Background: Health care, prevention and promotion activities, ought to be led by high quality evidence of effectiveness, feasibility and efficiency among others. The evidences should also be presented in a palatable way, so they could be translated into practice.

One of the common approaches to enhancing evidence generation and use are scientific conferences. Various professional Associations and Federations at different levels, have played pivotal role in setting the standards of practice for the areas of specialty that they are established for. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) was established to address all aspects of women’s health in the globe.

As continuation of the agreed upon trend, and based on the decision made at the 21st congress held in Vancouver in October 2015, the 22nd congress was held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil from October 14 – 19, 2018. The Rio conference, which was attended by 10,863 participants from 148 countries, has been registered as the biggest in the history of the FIGO congresses.

Although, it is difficult to imagine a conference which might have not been attended by any Ethiopian, it has been evident that only few Ethiopian Obstetricians and Gynecologists, midwives, researchers and others were in attendance on the previous congresses. Moreover, the number of papers selected for oral and poster presentation in the previous sessions were also very limited. But trends of participation in the congress was showing improvements over time. The 22nd edition has witnessed a remarkable improvement and multiple new developments.

Details

The Ethiopian Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ESOG) conducted a Continuing Medical Education (CME) at the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) on September 21-22, 2018. Entitled- CME on Update Obstetric and Gynecologic Topics, the CME sessions were attended by ESOG members mainly based in Addis Ababa.

Broadcasted from the EPHI center, the CME sessions live videos were reaching out to other attendees at ESOG’s branch offices in Hawassa, Haromaya, Bahir Dar and Jima.

Broadcasting live CME sessions to attendees away from the actual place of conduct has been one of the objectives of the CME Thematic Area of the ESOG-ACOG-CIRHT Collaborative Project. Such way of transmission would ease the burden of long-distance travel and related costs, not to mention the burden on service provision whenever physicians travel away from their work places for trainings. The sessions would also be recorded and can be accessed at ESOG’s official website, the online live videos will be disabled in two months’ time after their launching. The CME session at EPHI can for example be accessed here.(The vedio recordings has been removed).

The ESOG-ACOG-CIRHT collaborative project was launched in June, 2016 with the objective of addressing four thematic areas: Resident Ship, CME, Journal and Certification and Accreditation. The thematic areas to be addressed by the collaborative project later added three more areas to its list: IT, PR & Communication and Leadership Development. The issue of medical ethics was added later as yet another focus area of the project.
