To
the Boards of FIGO Member Societies
Dear
Colleagues,
FIGO?s overall goals are to improve the health and wellbeing of women
and newborn children worldwide, to raise the status of women and enable their active participation
to achieve their reproductive and sexual rights with access to efficient education and services
throughout their life cycle and to upgrade the practice of obstetrics and gynecology through
education, training and research to maintain a high standard of professionalism and ethical
adherence.
FIGO has a vision that women of the world achieve the highest possible
standards of physical, mental, reproductive and sexual health and wellbeing throughout their lives.
That includes not only but especially all fields of obstetrics and gynecology. While FIGO brings
together the specialist societies of obestrics and gynecology worldwide, it becomes clear that not
all specialist societies represent identical continuing education programs and areas of
expertise.
Diseases of the breast are supplied internationally in great variance
by various specialist societies. The female breast as a secondary sex feature as well as organ for
optimal nutrition of the newborn is always part of the treatment experience of gynecologists and
obstetricians worldwide. Therefore, FIGO has always worked on sub-aspects through its committees and
in the general meeting or published important scientific results.
FIGO
Survey "Breast Disease" In
order to present the state of care of breast diseases worldwide and to shed light on the position of
the professional society for obstetrics and gynecology in the various issues relating to breast
diseases in the various life and life situations, a survey of the FIGO members is indispensable. In
addition to the specific questioning of the care situation, the extent to which the various
specialist societies are obliged and authorized to do so in relation to breast diseases in their
further education regulations should also be described in particular. This is also meant as a basis
to improve communication with and between Member Associations and building the capacities of those
from low-resource countries through strengthening leadership, management, good practice and the
promotion of policy dialogues.
Please find in the attachment the survey
on breast disease. The survey was prepared in three different languages - English, French and
Spanish. Please choose the version that is most convenient to you and greatly support
the work of FIGO and the FIGO working group, if you take a moment to answer our colleagues'
questions.
Thank you very much and best regards
