Report on the FIGO-SOGP Saving the Mothers and Newborn Health Project in Pakistan. An NFOG concern.

摘要

FIGO is increasing its involvement in female health matters around the world. Funds have been solicited for Saving the Mothers and Newborn Health Projects in 12 developing countries. The obstetrics and gynecology society and midwifery association of each project country has been affiliated to a Western society, in what is called 'twinning'. The Swedish Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (SFOG) has twinned with the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Pakistan (SOGP). The SFOG board has signed a letter of understanding. A similar arrangement has been created between the Danish society (DSOG) and its Nigerian counterpart. Both twinning projects are supported by NFOG. In Pakistan, achievements so far are promising despite formidable problems in society, health care and security.
