World Congress of Gynaecology and Obstetrics
FIGO conducts a triennial meeting, the "World Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology".. In addition the society sponsors fellowships, lectures, provides reports about women’s health, and offers grants. Importantly through international committees consensus guidelines are achieved about evaluation and treatment of gynaecological and obstetrical disorders. Thus the FIGO staging system for gynaecological malignancy is generally accepted.
