XXV FIGO World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics
October 5 - October 9
Advancing women’s health: a journey of unity and freedom
FIGO Cape Town 2025 will provide a global platform for participating delegates and organisations to learn, share, exchange ideas, build alliances and propose solutions to the challenges facing women and girls’ health and rights.
Local, regional and international thought leaders will unite with 8,000+ delegates at FIGO’s world-leading event in Cape Town. Together, we will advance the science and practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. Together, we will stand up, speak out and call for urgent action to improve and protect comprehensive health access and rights. And so together, we will move forward in our collective journey to build a better future for women, girls and newborns worldwide.
The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)
FIGO is a professional membership organisation that brings together 130+ obstetrical and gynaecological associations from around the world. FIGO’s vision is that women of the world achieve the highest possible standards of physical, mental, reproductive and sexual health and wellbeing throughout their lives. Our work to achieve this vision is built on four pillars: education, research implementation, advocacy and capacity building.
FIGO leads on global programme activities, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia. We advocate on the global stage, working to raise the status of women and enable their active participation in achieving their reproductive and sexual rights. We provide education and training for our Member Societies and build capacities of those in low-resource countries through strengthening leadership, translating and disseminating good practice and promoting policy dialogues.
FIGO is in official relations with the World Health Organization and consultative status with the United Nations.
