IMAGYN

What IMAGYN does

IMAGYN (Initiative des Malades Atteintes de cancers Gynécologiques) is a French non-profit patient association founded around 2014 and headquartered in Paris, dedicated to women affected by gynecological cancers and their loved ones. The organization operates as a community-led entity with approximately 6 staff, supplemented by patient volunteers and regional referents, and has been officially recognized (agréée) by the French Ministry of Health since 2019 (N° Agrément: N2023 RN0049). Its service portfolio includes the IMAGYN Écoute telephone helpline (staffed Monday through Saturday across three rotating phone lines), the COCON et son village in-person educational forums held in cities across France, peer-support cafés IMAGYN, wellness programs covering yoga, meditation, and the Dans l'intervalle accompaniment initiative, and advocacy through the Collectif Turquoise coalition. Awareness campaigns include Septembre Turquoise (ovarian cancer) and Juin Vert (cervical cancer prevention).

The organization funds itself through voluntary member donations in fixed tiers of €10, €25, €50, €100, and €200, which qualify for a 66% French income tax deduction under its general-interest status. There is no commercial product, paid service, or disclosed revenue line; the technological footprint is limited to an informational website, standard social media presence across Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and webinars hosted via the Oncostream platform. IMAGYN is integrated into the French oncology ecosystem through partnerships with Gustave Roussy, Institut Curie, ARCAGY GINECO, Hôpitaux Universitaires Paris Nord Val de Seine, Ligue contre le cancer, Medipath, and Deuxième Avis, and is internationally engaged via ENGAGeO (the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology patient network). A pharmaceutical sponsorship arrangement with GSK supports the 2026 edition of COCON et son village.
