The congress, for updating the gynaecological community about the recent developments in the field of obstetrics and reproductive medicine, will be inaugurated by former additional chief secretary D Babu Paul at 7 pm on Friday.

Childbirth, problems during labour, gynaecologic malignancies, urological problems and newer therapies for the foetus inside the uterus will be some of the topics that will be discussed.
