With the national efforts for recovery following the historical EDSA revolution in 1986, parallel developments in the medical field were unfolding. The Philippine representation to the 5th Congress of the Federation of Asia-Oceania Perinatal Societies (FAOPS) in July 8, 1988, by the local pioneer in perinatology, Dr. Natividad L. Puertollano , opened the avenue for the formation of a body specifically aimed at addressing perinatal health. At the said congress, a suggestion to undertake the 1992 FAOPS International Meeting was made. This inspired then President of the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS), Dr, Vicente X. Genato to take the challenge. Hence, the initiation of the organization of the Perinatal Association of the Philippines (PAP) in 1989.
PRESIDENT’S CORNER
The Perinatal Association of the Philippines (PAP) is the only Association in the Philippines with membership that is the conglomeration of Obstetricians, Pediatricians, Nurses and Midwives. This unique feature places PAP in a perfect position to achieve its goal of promoting maternal, fetal and neonatal well-being.
