WGO Distinguished Global Lecture

The World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) believes that it is important to continuously expand the ways in which WGO supports its Member Societies and Regional Affiliate Associations and their activities. With this goal in mind, the WGO Governing Council has established the “WGO Distinguished Global Lecture” as one means by which WGO can even more effectively demonstrate its commitment to participating in and supporting the major annual or biannual meetings of the Regional Affiliate Associations.

The central aim of the WGO Distinguished Global Lecture is to contribute from a global perspective to the education and training being offered on a regional basis by the four WGO Regional Affiliate Associations:

• African Middle East Association of Gastroenterology (AMAGE)
• Asian Pacific Association of Gastroenterology (APAGE)
• Pan-American Gastroenterological Association (OPGE)
• United European Gastroenterology (UEG), through its National Societies Committee

It will also provide an opportunity for WGO to realize in partnership with its Regional Affiliate Associations its primary mission, which is to represent, present, and support the discipline of gastroenterology, hepatology, and related disciplines worldwide and enhance the reach of WGO’s Members, particularly in low-resource regions.
