FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A meaningful step forward for women’s health

Prof Dr Frank Louwen, President of FIGO, attended the UNFPA Headquarters to sign the Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of the federation, strengthening collaboration between UNFPA’s global reach and FIGO’s worldwide network of obstetricians and gynaecologists.
