Dear Colleagues,

The 2015 POGS Annual Convention and 69th

Anniversary Celebration will be held on November 24-27, 2015 at the PICC. Please remember the date as we have prepared exciting topics which are relevant to our clinical practice. The theme of the convention is “Optimizing the Quality of OB-GYN Practice. We have invited well-known international speakers, such as Professor Mats BrännstrÖm of Sweden, who will talk about Uterine Transplantation, a big innovation. In the field of Obstetrics, we will have Dr. Tuangsit Wataganara of Thailand speak on preterm labor prediction and progesterone therapy for preterm labor, Dr. Tony Tan of Singapore to talk to us about labor induction and Dr. Joanne Kwak Kim of the USA who will discuss Recurrent Pregnancy Loss. We will also be learning more about Abnormal Uterine Bleeding from Dr. Peter van de Weijer of New Zealand

The Organizing Committee is committed to make this forthcoming convention a worthwhile experience for all. So, come learn and enjoy the event.
