About the International Infectious Disease Society
for Obstetrics and Gynecology

In August 1995, 35 IDSOG members made the commitment to establish a new infectious disease society within the United States to address what were preceived as major challenges in the 21st century. The goal orientation of the society is well reflected in our credo.

I-IDSOG-USA Mission Statement

1. To serve the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, and the Pan American Health Organization as a resource for information and guidelines.
