Clinicians, scientists and health care workers will gather for this third annual conference to develop a vision to reduce the burden of female genital cancer and infections, especially HPV, in the Asia, Oceania and Pacific regions.

More than 50% of cervical cancer cases in the developing world occur within the Asian-Pacific region. AOGIN has developed an expert multi-disciplinary group within the region and along the lines of European Research Organization on Genital Infection and Neoplasia (EUROGIN) / European Course on HPV Associated Pathology Virus (ECHPV), as developed for Europe and, more recently, Latin America. AOGIN works with health care workers (as well as the lay public), particularly those in women's health with the goals of collaboration and research, scientific exchanges, education and training, providing information, surveys and audits.
