SICOG 2009

Greetings from Singapore!

It is our pleasure to welcome you to participate in the 7th Singapore International Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. This Congress is now into its 7th biennial meeting and has grown from its infancy to become the premier regional congress in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. At our last congress, we attracted an attendance of more than 30 countries and 5 continents. We hope to expand this year’s Congress even further and endeavour to put forth a well balanced programme that will cater to generalists and sub-specialists alike.

The theme for the 7th Singapore International Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is “Integrating Basic Science into the Art of Obstetrics and Gynaecology”. The practice of clinical medicine no doubt is an art, but this must be developed with a good understanding of the sciences that are involved and are evolving.

This year’s congress will feature pre-congress workshops in many areas such as labour ward emergencies, ultrasound, urogynaecology, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, colposcopy, surgical anatomy and so on. The main congress itself will encompass many of the latest updates in the areas of maternal fetal medicine, urogynaecology, oncology, infertility, endocrinology, anti-aging and many more areas.

As for our sunny island of Singapore, few need any further introduction. Besides being known as a shoppers’ paradise and famed for her hospitality, we promise an international choice of food cuisine and a host of attractions in Singapore as well as around the region.

It will be a great chance for us to make new friends, network, catch up with old friends as well as soak up the tropical atmosphere of this vibrant city. We look forward to seeing you in August 2009.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr Yoke-Fai Fong
Chairman
