Our 18th FIGIJ World Congress in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology was held at the Palazzo dei Congressi, Firenze Fiera, on June 25-June 28, 2016.

Where has FIGIJ been? The better question is where haven’t we been? Since we last wrote, we have been to Ethiopia, Istanbul, Copenhagen, London, Florida, and Vancouver for conferences and presentations. See all the details here!

During our recent visit to London in September 2014, five new IFEPAG fellows passed their written and oral examinations. These superstars in pediatric and adolescent gynecology include: Hanadi Adnan Bakhsh, MD, from Italy working in Saudi Arabia; Elisabetta Ferrucci, MD, from Italy working in Switzerland; Eva Homolkova, MD of the Czech Republic, Helena Neumannova, MD, from Czech Republic; Eveline Roos, MD, of the Netherlands.

We take our mission of improving the reproductive health of youth worldwide seriously – and in October 2013, FIGIJ had the opportunity to accelerate our efforts in Africa. Three of our board members, Professors Paul Wood, Gabriele Tridenti, and Ellen Rome traveled to the 1st FIGO Africa Conference of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Addis Ababa.
