In collaboration with the African Federation of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (AFOG) and the Rwanda Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RSOG), the FIGO Africa Regional Kigali Congress was held as a Virtual Event with a Hub in Kigali for those who live locally to attend, with registrants able to participate virtually from anywhere in the world.

Over two and a half days from 13 to 15 December, the Congress brought together more than 1,100 health professionals and specialists in the fields of gynaecology, obstetrics and women’s health from 74 countries. 

Across 30 on-demand and 24 live sessions, including two panel debates and four keynote presentations, more than 200 speakers engaged with guests in discussions that will help to shape national, regional and global policy. OUGSG faculty member Anita Makins and her team led many of these sessions.
