SOGON is the umbrella body for all gynaecolog­ist and obstetrici­ans in Nigeria and part of its mandate is providing opportunit­ies for continuous profession­al developmen­t for members. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant restrictio­n in movement and large gatherings, the organisati­on has resorted to organising webinars for members to gain more knowledge and improve their practise.

This has been achieved by partnering with relevant organisati­ons and resource persons from Nigeria and other countries to deliver best in class training and sessions, delivered online.
