What The Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India does

The Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) is a non-profit professional membership organization founded in 1950 and headquartered in Mumbai. It serves as the official representative body for obstetricians and gynecologists in India, connecting 47,000+ individual practitioners across 293 member societies nationwide. The federation's stated mission centers on professional development, knowledge dissemination, research promotion, and advocacy for women's reproductive and maternal health, including reducing maternal mortality.

FOGSI operates a portfolio of digital platforms and sub-organizations to deliver its services. These include the official website fogsi.org, the FOGSINET member networking platform, ICOG (the academic wing handling certification and training), JOGI (the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of India), and the ADHUNA initiative for cervical cancer prevention. Additional programmatic sub-brands include Manyata (maternal health quality improvement), Narikaa (women's health advocacy), Project Mukta, A+++ HRP Care (high-risk pregnancy designation), and Sampoorna. The organization publishes FOGSI Connect as a monthly magazine and manages a member portal (member.fogsi.org) for dues and event registration. FOGSI also issues authoritative clinical and regulatory guidance, including notes on the Supreme Court 2-finger test judgement and the NMC RMP Regulations 2023.

FOGSI's revenue model is member-funded: annual membership dues from individual practitioners and member societies form the core, supplemented by conference and event revenue (including AICOG and zonal conferences), publication subscriptions, training and certification fees, and likely industry sponsorship for quality improvement programs such as Manyata. The organization maintains strategic international partnerships with FIGO, RCOG, AOFOG, and SAFOG, positioning it as a regional leader in Asia-Oceania OB-GYN affairs. Governance is elected and member-driven, with office bearers including a President, President Elect, Immediate Past President, Secretary General, and Deputy Secretary General overseeing IT initiatives.

Broad incumbents

• International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics: FIGO is the global umbrella OB-GYN federation of which FOGSI is the Indian member. It shares FOGSI's specialty mission at a worldwide level and is a partner rather than direct competitor.
• Indian Medical Association: IMA is the largest allopathic professional medical association in India, representing physicians across specialties. It is a broader incumbent that overlaps with FOGSI's professional-association role but covers all specialties rather than OB-GYN alone.
• Indian Academy of Pediatrics: IAP is the Indian professional body for pediatricians, with a comparable federation-of-societies structure, conference programming, and CME mission. It operates in an adjacent specialty and faces similar governance and program-execution dynamics as FOGSI.
• Association of Physicians of India: API is a large Indian specialist medical society for physicians. It shares FOGSI's federation structure, conferences, and CME focus but in internal medicine rather than obstetrics and gynecology.
• Cardiological Society of India: CSI is a large Indian specialist medical society for cardiologists, with similar federation, conference, and CME functions. It is comparable in operating model to FOGSI but addresses cardiovascular rather than OB-GYN practice.

Regional players

• South Asian Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies: SAFOG is the regional federation of OB-GYN societies across South Asia and a direct FOGSI partner. It is comparable in function but operates regionally rather than nationally.
• Asia & Oceania Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology: AOFOG is the Asia-Oceania OB-GYN federation and an active FOGSI partner. It shares FOGSI's congress and educational programming model at a regional level.

Direct peers

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: ACOG is the US national professional body for OB-GYNs, providing clinical guidelines, education, and advocacy. It is the most direct international functional analog to FOGSI, operating at significantly larger scale.
• Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists: RCOG is the UK professional body for OB-GYNs and an active FOGSI partner. It shares FOGSI's membership, training, and guideline-dissemination model and serves as a comparable specialty federation.
