Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the Chinese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, I would like to invite you to the First Global Congress of Chinese Obstetricians and Gynecologists to be held from Nov. 16 to Nov. 18, 2007 in Beijing, China.

It is an important event for worldwide Chinese Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It aims to provide a platform for worldwide Chinese Obstetricians and Gynecologists to share our latest discoveries and advances in clinical treatment and medical research. We are a top line-up of experts to join in the organization of the program and to speak at the Congress. The program will cover an array of topics of common interests, which include obstetrics, general gynecology, gynecological oncology, gynecological endoscopy, pelvic floor dysfunction disease, reproductive endocrinology and family planning.

I am sure it will further facilitate the communication and exchanges among us and contribute to the global development of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Beijing, as a host city of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, has a history of over 3000 years. From the best preserved ancient palaces to fabulous dining and entertainment, you will find them all in Beijing. Beijing is well connected with most other major cities all over the world and is easily accessible by direct flight. Beijing is one of the main gateways of China, extensively connected to other cities in China by air, railways and express ways, the city is an ideal starting point for further travel in China.

As the Chinese philosopher, Confucius said 2500 years ago, it is such a delight to have friends coming from afar! We are looking forward to welcoming all of you to this important event.
