FASGO

What FASGO does

FASGO (Federación Argentina de Sociedades de Ginecología y Obstetricia) is a non-profit professional medical federation founded in 1956 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It operates as the nationally recognized certifying body for obstetrics and gynecology specialists under the Argentine Ministry of Health (Ministerio de Salud de la Nación), granting credentials with national validity through its National Academic Council. FASGO also serves as the umbrella organization for federated and adherent member societies across Argentina and is a member of FLASOG (Federación Latinoamericana de Sociedades de Obstetricia y Ginecología) and FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics), extending its reach to the Latin American and global OB/GYN communities.

The federation's core offerings span a digital publishing platform, continuing education programs, and clinical governance artifacts. Primary products include Revista FASGO (a 100% digital scientific journal, ISSN 2683-8826), Escuela FASGO (an academic school running 15+ specialized courses annually and regional meetings), the Nomenclador Nacional de Obstetricia y Ginecología (a national nomenclature tool), Consensos FASGO (clinical consensus documents), Webinarios FASGO (virtual webinars), Ateneos País (national case discussions), and the annual Congreso FASGO (national scientific congress). The technology layer is a standard web platform enabling online registration, access to digital publications, and remote participation in webinars and case discussions.

FASGO's revenue model is built on professional services: certification and recertification fees for specialists, residency accreditation fees, and event/congress registration fees. The organization runs with a lean staff of 13 full-time employees and is governed by a Consejo Directivo Nacional elected for two-year terms (currently 2026-2027). Pricing for certification, recertification, courses, and congress registration is not publicly disclosed; group discounts for 5+ course participants are noted. As a non-profit federation rather than a commercial enterprise, FASGO does not have traditional investors, does not publish financial statements, and operates independently via its member society network.

Direct peers

• Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG): UK professional body for OB/GYN with comparable functions: specialty certification, MRCOG exam, clinical guidelines, and continuing professional development. Closest large international analogue to FASGO's regulatory and educational mandate.
• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): National US federation of OB/GYN specialists providing certification, continuing education, clinical guidelines, and an annual meeting. Directly comparable to FASGO in mission, member services, and certification/recertification role, only at US scale.
• Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC): Canadian national OB/GYN society offering continuing education, clinical practice guidelines, and member certification support. Mirrors FASGO's combined certification, CME, and guideline-development role within a single national system.
• Sociedad Española de Ginecología y Obstetricia (SEGO): Spanish national OB/GYN society offering specialist certification, a scientific journal (Progresos de Obstetricia y Ginecología), and annual congress. Closest Iberian-language peer for language and editorial model.
• Federação Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia (FEBRASGO): Brazilian national OB/GYN federation and the largest Latin American counterpart to FASGO. Operates certification, congress, journal, and consensus activities with a similar institutional structure. Direct regional peer and fellow FLASOG member.
• Sociedad Chilena de Obstetricia y Ginecología (SOCHOG): Chilean OB/GYN society offering certification, scientific meetings, and a peer-reviewed journal. Functionally analogous to FASGO at a national level and a peer within FLASOG.
• Sociedad de Obstetricia y Ginecología de Buenos Aires (SOGIBA): Provincial OB/GYN society in Buenos Aires, a constituent member of FASGO. Operates certification, scientific events, and CME at the sub-national level with overlapping member base.

Broad incumbents

• FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics): Global OB/GYN federation that FASGO is a member of. Operates worldwide guidelines and advocacy; functions as the apex institution in FASGO's international affiliation chain and shapes the consensus content FASGO disseminates.
• American Medical Association (AMA): US national medical association offering specialty certification support, CME, and a federation of state and specialty societies. Comparable to FASGO as a multi-specialty professional federation model, though much larger and broader in scope.
• FLASOG (Federación Latinoamericana de Sociedades de Obstetricia y Ginecología): Latin American umbrella federation of which FASGO is a member. Operates at a higher regional level with continental guidelines, but its certifying-networks-of-record role provides a benchmark for FASGO's national mission.
