Dear colleague:

Heartfelt greetings from the new Board of Directors of the Colombian Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Federación Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología FECOLSOG). We would like to express our commitment to producing value for all our affiliates.

On its way towards becoming a large undertaking, FECOLSOG took the decision to involve the role of Manager in its organisational chart; this has led to a great change. It was also decided to form the Federation’s Teaching Branch during this new stage; it will manage and execute our sector’s Ongoing Medical Education programmes without losing sight of our main objective: the wellbeing of Colombian gynaecologists-obstetricians.

The Board of Directors’ main wish and objective is to strengthen the profession, a very complex topic on which we are fully concentrating our efforts. We have thus considered it to be of vital importance that there is a sense of belonging, which is why the slogan FECOLSOG: we are all united (FECOLSOG: Somos Todos) has been adopted as we are all potentially important. It is extremely gratifying for the new Board of Directors that we have a United and Productive Federation today.

I would like to express my congratulations to and full support for Dr. Hernando Gaitán, director of our journal, and all the authors for the excellent work which has collectively led to our success. I would also like to invite all members to become involved in research and write up their results since this broadcasts the high level which exercising our specialisation has achieved in Colombia.

Please remember our earnest slogan: “FECOLSOG: Somos Todos”

A warm embrace from the Colombian Caribbean region.

Rafael Padrón Burgos

President The Colombian Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FECOLSOG)
