Since its establishment on February 26, 1961, our Association has grown for nearly 65 years—through perseverance and dedication, it has flourished, leading Taiwan’s obstetrics and gynecology community to remarkable achievements and honor in many aspects.

It is a great honor and privilege to serve all of you as the 24th President of TAOG. In this era of advanced information and artificial intelligence, I am deeply committed to working hand in hand with our outstanding team to move forward and “run together,” striving to elevate our Association and the OB-GYN community in Taiwan toward excellence and perfection.

In terms of international relations and engagement, TAOG was re-elected as a FIGO Council Member for another four-year term at the 25th FIGO World Congress held on October 8, 2025, in Cape Town, South Africa. We are also proud that Honorary Fellow Tsung-Hsien Su will assume the presidency of the Asia & Oceania Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOFOG) in October 2026. Following Honorary Fellow Yu-Shih Yang’s presidency in 2011, this marks another milestone placing Taiwan once again at the forefront of leadership in the global OB-GYN community.

The long-standing Japan-Korea-Taiwan (J-K-T) collaboration has continued to expand steadily in both scale and substance, nurturing countless new generations of young scholars and leaders across the three countries.

On June 15, 2025, TAOG successfully hosted the 4th America- Taiwan Joint Conference. Our Honorary Fellow, Prof. Mark S. DeFrancesco (ACOG President 2015–2016), gathered distinguished past and current ACOG Presidents and scholars as speakers and moderators. During the ACOG Annual Meeting held in Minneapolis, USA (May 16–18), we also met with current ACOG President Dr. Steven J. Fleischman to discuss future TAOG–ACOG collaboration programs. The experience of attending such a large-scale international congress—its organization, academic exchanges, and management—has been immensely inspiring and enriching, offering valuable lessons to learn from.

Our journal, the Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (TJOG), achieved its highest-ever Impact Factor of 2.2 in 2025. We express our sincere gratitude to Prof. Chih-Ping Chen of Mackay Memorial Hospital and the Editorial Board for their continuous dedication and efforts, and we look forward to reaching even greater heights in the future.

To support lifelong learning for our members, our Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs will focus on new developments and emerging concepts, while also emphasizing convenient and comfortable venues to maximize learning effectiveness. Under the leadership of Honorary Fellow Min-Chao Huang, the Residency Training Committee will introduce Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) as a framework for assessing whether residents are ready to independently perform clinical duties—an important step toward competency-based education.

In the area of healthcare policy and insurance, TAOG will continue to align with government initiatives for “Healthy Taiwan,” while ensuring that our members receive fair and reasonable compensation. At the same time, promoting evidence-based and patient-beneficial self-pay medical services remains a vital mission and responsibility of the Association.

Our annual member trips and north-central-south hiking events, both highly popular among members, will continue to be refined and expanded—allowing everyone to enjoy healthy, joyful, and tasteful leisure experiences outside of work.

In recent years, Taiwan has faced increasingly serious challenges of low birth rate and population aging. Many medical professionals continue to dedicate themselves—quietly yet passionately—to advancing women’s health through clinical practice and research. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and highest respect to all members for your long-term devotion and contributions.

With the collective wisdom and strength of our Association, let us continue to move forward together for the advancement of women’s health and the glory of Taiwan’s obstetrics and gynecology community.
