Sociedad Peruana de Obstetricia y Ginecología

What Sociedad Peruana de Obstetricia y Ginecología does

Sociedad Peruana de Obstetricia y Ginecología (SPOG) is a Peruvian nonprofit professional medical society serving obstetricians and gynecologists, founded on 1947-06-30 in Lima. The organization represents the specialty nationally through approximately 100 Titular (full) members and 400+ Asociados (associate) members, supported by a small staff of 9 employees and an 18-branch regional network across Peru that has been in place since 2008. Its core products are the Revista Peruana de Ginecología y Obstetricia (RPGO) scientific journal (published since 1954), periodic scientific sessions, an annual national congress, and continuing medical education programming. There is no commercial product line, software platform, or proprietary technology offering; the society operates as a membership and knowledge-dissemination body rather than a technology company.

The society's revenue model is that of a classic professional association: Titular and Asociado membership dues plus national congress and event registration fees. SPOG is headquartered at Av. Rivera Navarrete 391-395, San Isidro, Lima, does not publish audited financial statements, and has no disclosed revenue, ARR, or commercial sponsorship base. There are no AI, data, or technology-platform revenue streams and no evidence of third-party model dependencies or proprietary training pipelines.

Strategically, SPOG positions itself as the recognized technical voice of Peruvian OB/GYNs in public policy. In 2025 it partnered with MINSA on obstetric protocols (2025-03-05), co-signed a joint statement at the Ministry of Health on Medical Residency (2025-07-07), publicly rejected legislative proposal PL N°12232/2025-CR, installed a new 2025-2026 board, and participated in the FIGO World Congress 2025 (with a joint ALAJOG presentation), FLASOG Summit III 2025, and the 78th World Health Assembly — collectively signaling an activist, internationally-engaged posture rather than a commercial expansion agenda.
