The World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility (COGI) is a ‘concept congress’ dealing mainly with controversial issues in the broad field of Women’s Health, in the format of debates and discussions, and allowing ample time for speaker-participant interaction. The congress gives key-opinion leaders from around the world the opportunity to effectively debate clinical and therapeutic dilemmas and other key issues facing clinicians in their daily practice.
