CNGOF

What CNGOF does

CNGOF (Collège National des Gynécologues et Obstétriciens Français) is a French non-profit professional medical society (société savante) founded around 1985 and headquartered at 91 boulevard de Sébastopol in Paris. The organization serves as the authoritative representative body for French gynecologists and obstetricians, with secondary reach into midwives (sages-femmes) and the general public. Its core mission is the production and dissemination of evidence-based clinical practice recommendations (RPC), continuing medical education, and patient-facing health information. CNGOF is financed exclusively by member dues, course fees, and surplus from its annual congress, with no external institutional or private equity investment.

The society operates a multi-product platform spanning education, publishing, research, and professional services. Core offerings include 54 standardized patient information sheets (Fiches d'Information des Patientes), RPC clinical guidelines, an e-learning module on fetal heart rhythm analysis priced at €50 per participant, T21 ultrasound quality self-assessment, webinars with replay access, university diplomas (DIU/DU), MOOCs, the Académie d'Excellence, and the annual Pari(s) Santé Femme congress. Research infrastructure comprises the GROG and CEROG observational registries, while members access free classified ads (petites annonces), preferential congress pricing, and Qualiopi-certified DPC training. The organization is governed by an elected Bureau, Conseil d'Administration, and Conseil Scientifique.

CNGOF distributes services primarily through its website (cngof.fr), a member-only portal, and a 16-organization partnership network that includes French subspecialty societies (AGOF, CFEF, SFMP, SCGP, SFC, SFCPCV, Gynerisq, CARO, FFER) and international counterparts (ACOG, DGGG, WMA). The society maintains an active public advocacy role, having issued collective press statements in 2026 opposing the French Ministry of Health's perinatality reform and participating in HAS evaluations on breast cancer radiotherapy. Operational scale is modest at 11 employees; no AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in the platform.

Broad incumbents

• Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM): US-based professional society focused on high-risk pregnancy and maternal-fetal medicine, providing clinical guidance, CME, and research support — comparable educational and guideline-publishing function within a narrower OB/GYN subspecialty.
• International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO): Global umbrella federation for OB/GYN societies that sets worldwide standards, runs the World Congress, and supports member societies — broader geographic remit than CNGOF but operates an analogous professional society and guideline-publishing model.

Emerging players

• International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG): International society dedicated to OB/GYN ultrasound that runs training courses, accredits ultrasound education, and publishes guidelines — comparable to CNGOF's Analyse Pratique T21 ultrasound training program.

Regional players

• Association des Gynécologues et Obstétriciens de France (AGOF): French OB/GYN association that collaborates with CNGOF on professional standards, education, and guidelines — directly comparable French peer society serving a related audience.

• Collège Français d'Echographie Fœtale (CFEF): French college dedicated to fetal ultrasound training and quality standards, a core CNGOF partner that delivers specialized clinical training overlapping with CNGOF's ultrasound-related e-learning offerings.

Direct peers

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): The leading US professional society for obstetrician-gynecologists, publishing clinical practice guidelines, running CME programs, and hosting major annual meetings — directly comparable to CNGOF in mission and activities, and already an international partner of CNGOF.
• Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG): UK professional body for OB/GYN specialists that develops clinical guidelines, runs accredited training, and convenes international obstetrics events — directly parallel to CNGOF's role in France.
