Following on from the highly acclaimed previous meetings of ESIDOG which showed an impressive level of sophistication and scientific merit we anticipate that our meeting in Istanbul will be another triumph. We shall continue the tradition of bringing together the most important innovative speakers in the field of Infections in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. They will cover new and novel approaches to the problems related to infections which confront us all. The congress will be truly a multidisciplinary effort, involving obstetricians, gynaecologits, infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, family practitioners and GPs. We will strengthen surveillance and develop new approaches to the investigation and terminations of the infections, and will strengthen the science surrounding self-care and traditional approaches to clinical management. Istanbul is one of the World’s most beautiful historic cities, which connects the continents of Asia and Europe. She is not only beautiful to eye, but also exciting to the palate; hopefully you will derive additional benefits from the non-academic side of this Congress We look forward to giving you a warm welcome in Istanbul, in October.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
