Dear Friends,
Welcome to the official website of the Guwahati Obstetric & Gynaecological Society.
This is a professional organization or association of the practitioners of Obstetrics &
Gynaecology of greater Guwahati. This was formed way back in 1972 when it was known as the
Assam Obstetrics & Gynaecological Society as it was the first and only association of
Obstetrician & Gynaecologists of Assam. Later on the name was changed to Gauhati and
then to Guwahati Obstetrics & Gynaecological Society, known simply as GOGS in Assam.
The role of the society is to encourage and disseminate knowledge, education and
research in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, to pilot and promote preventive
and therapeutic services related to the practice of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for
betterment of the health of women and children in particular and the wellbeing of the
community in general. It also advocates the cause of reproductive health and rights
and to support and protect the interest of practitioners of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
in Guwahati. It is a constituent of Federation of Obstetrics & Gynaecolgical
Societies of India (FOGSI). The society regularly organizes scientific meetings,
symposiums and Continuing Medical Education programs at Guwahati and other places.
The members of the society are actively associated to promoting the health & welfare
of women and children in our state. The notable achievement of the society is starting
the North East Association of Obstetrics & Gynaecologist and its annual conference the
NEOGSCON which has crossed 25 golden years now. The GOGS also has hosted the All India
Congress of Obstetrics & Gynaecology twice in 1977 and in 2010 successfully.
