Nationaal Congres 2024

Dear colleagues,

The VVOG (Flemish Belgian Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) and CRGOLFB (French speaking Belgian Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) are delighted to invite you to the National Belgian Congress on Ambulatory Care in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. In collaboration with the Belgian Association of Ambulatory Surgery, this congress promises a comprehensive exploration of ambulatory care across all subspecialties within our field.

This collaborative effort aims to bring together the collective expertise of our organizations, fostering a environment for knowledge exchange and professional development. The congress will feature in-depth discussions on ambulatory care, covering a spectrum of topics relevant to obstetrics and gynaecology.

At lunch there will be the opportunity to network and engage with fellow professionals. Additionally, a farewell drink will conclude the congress, providing a relaxed setting for further discussions.

Your participation is vital to the success of this event.

We eagerly anticipate your presence at this congress, where together, we can advance the frontiers of ambulatory care for the benefit of women's health.

Warm regards,

Koen Traen                                         Maxime Fastrez
President VVOG                                  President CRGOLFB
