Message from the President

Dear Colleagues and Friends; 

It is an honour and pleasure for me to welcome you to the World Association of Perinatal Medicine.

WAPM is doing best to serve to the society at the level of scientific research, publication, recommendations, guidelines, postgraduate training as courses, webinars, congresses and try to establish the standards in in the field of perinatal medicine such as mainly obstetrics, neonatology and perinatal genetics.

After the Covid-19 outbreak, our activity has been interrupted and now getting active again as hybrid format in the era of online and virtual communications by means of new technologies.

During the course of Covig-19 outbreak, we established a registry for Covid-19 in pregnancy and prepared a scientific evaluation of the Covid-19 disease in pregnancy at the international level and the paper “Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes of Pregnant Women with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): The WAPM study on COVID-19” and “Risk factors associated with adverse fetal outcomes in pregnancies affected by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Analysis of the WAPM Study on COVID-19” are published. At the same time when the first evaluation is ready we organized a webinar on Covid-19 in pregnancy in May 2020. Another paper “Clinical Management of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in pregnancy: Recommendations of WAPM-World Association of Perinatal Medicine” is published as an advisory document in your clinical practice.

In the meantime, there have been published a number of clinical practice guidelines such as

WAPM-World Association of Perinatal Medicine practice guidelines: fetal central nervous system examinationThe use of antenatal corticosteroids for fetal maturation: clinical practice guideline by the WAPM-World Association of Perinatal Medicine and the PMF-Perinatal Medicine FoundationFirst trimester examination of fetal anatomy: clinical practice guideline by the World Association of Perinatal Medicine (WAPM) and the Perinatal Medicine Foundation (PMF)Ultrasound in labor: clinical practice guideline by the World Association of Perinatal Medicine (WAPM) and the Perinatal Medicine Foundation (PMF)

Also we are having the WSPM “World School of Perinatal Medicine” courses as online meetings. WAPM training activity will continue as online course and webinars at the moment, there will be onsite and online events when possible.

If any perinatal/OB&GYN/Neonatal Society wish to organize any scientific and training activity with help and support of WAPM, it is more than welcome to have proposals.

We wish you all the best and healthy days to come.
