Sobrac

What Sobrac does

SOBRAC (Associação Brasileira de Climatério) is a Brazilian non-profit medical association headquartered in São Paulo, focused exclusively on climacteric medicine and menopause. It serves gynecologists, physicians, and healthcare professionals in Brazil by providing continuing medical education, evidence-based clinical consensus documents and guidelines, professional certification, and a public-facing physician directory for patient referrals. The organization is staffed by approximately 7 employees and operates through an elected board of directors and an interdisciplinary council.

The association's core products are content- and community-based: the "Área do Associado" online member portal, the searchable "Busca de Profissionais" directory of active member physicians, a portfolio of clinical publications including the 2024 Brazilian Consensus on Hormonal Therapy for Climacteric and the 2024 Brazilian Guideline on Cardiovascular Health in Climacteric and Menopause, and translated editions of NAMS books. It also organizes educational events such as the annual PERIMENOPAUSA symposium (held November 29, 2025 at Centro de Convenções Frei Caneca, São Paulo) and co-organizes the 20th World Congress on Menopause 2026 with the International Menopause Society in Rio de Janeiro.

The underlying technology is a web-based member portal and website (sobrac.org.br), supplemented by social media (Facebook, Instagram) and WhatsApp for direct member communication. The business model is membership-driven: annual associate membership fees are R$165 (2026 rate), with additional revenue from event registrations, publication sales, and partnerships with international societies (NAMS, EMAS) and a healthcare sponsor (Bayer Healthcare). SOBRAC does not disclose financials, has no parent company, no funding rounds, and no equity ownership structure consistent with its non-profit associative form.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Indian Menopause Society: National society for menopause practitioners in India; comparable as a country-level professional association focused on climacteric medicine, but operating in a different geography from SOBRAC.
• Japanese Society of Menopause and Women's Health: Japanese national menopause society publishing clinical guidelines and journals; similar mission to SOBRAC in producing national-level guidance for menopause care, though serving a different country.

Direct peers

• International Menopause Society (IMS): Global umbrella organization for menopause medicine; co-organizer of the World Congress on Menopause 2026 with SOBRAC, making it the closest functional peer in mission, governance structure, and international event delivery.
• Australasian Menopause Society: Australia/New Zealand menopause society producing position statements and clinician education; structurally identical to SOBRAC as a regional professional association serving a defined geographic specialist base.
• European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS): European society covering menopause and andropause with a similar member-benefit model; EMAS offers SOBRAC members reciprocal access to MATURITAS journal, mirroring the cross-society partnership architecture SOBRAC operates.
• British Menopause Society (BMS): U.K. membership society for clinicians specializing in menopause; comparable as a national-level association providing certification, consensus guidance, and member directories in a single-language market.
• The North American Menopause Society (NAMS): U.S.-based professional society dedicated to promoting women's health during menopause; directly comparable as a membership-driven medical association producing consensus guidelines, certifications, and the Menopause Guidebook that SOBRAC translates into Portuguese.

Broad incumbents

• Endocrine Society: Large international professional society covering endocrinology broadly, including hormonal aspects of menopause; an incumbent that addresses climacteric medicine as part of a much wider portfolio rather than as a dedicated focus.
• Federación Brasileira de Ginecología y Obstetricia (FEBRASGO): Brazilian federation of gynecology and obstetrics associations; the broader incumbent that could absorb climacteric content into wider women's-health programming, making it the most relevant competitive threat to SOBRAC domestically.

Emerging players

• International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH): Multidisciplinary society focused on women's sexual health with partial overlap into midlife and menopause topics; an emerging adjacent player whose scope intersects SOBRAC's but is not directly competitive.
