Founding of OGASH

"The Pregnancy and Labor Management of Atypical Forms of late Gestosis (EPH-Gestosis)

He recognized that the parameters of the OG needed world wide spreading and application in every day practice of Obstetrics. He therefore founded the

Creation of OGASH

He had come to the conclusion that without mutual understanding, without the acceptance und application of a common

against EPH - Gestosis would be possible. Teaching starts as a rule in hospitals and beside the university Centers also in smaller hospitals where the young doctors get their training.

These hospitals, University teaching and training centers would agree to the obligation to apply the parameters of the OG doing their work with pregnant patients suffering from EPH - Gestosis in prenatal care in the outpatient departments, in their delivery rooms, laboratories and in their scientific publications.

To support these efforts the Library of the Organisation Gestosis and all books published by the Organisation Gestosis Press were being transferred to the Medical Library of the Republic of Georgia.

1. The World OGASH Board, An Intercontinental OGASH presidency of the Academy of Medical - Social Sciences The IAMSS correspondence and collecting data of etiology prevention and therapy by the best leaders of OGASH

Creation of OGASH, OG home page and logo of OGASH

3. Promoting and supporting Growth of Science and Education Access to pertinent literature A Web site bulletin of IAMSS Publishing "OGASH-Series" Monographs

4. Proposing guidelines and standards worked out by International experts on diagnostics Methods of pregnancy surveillance for everybody concerned, including laboratories research programs

5. Supporting national and regional EPH - Gestosis centers e.g. International Center for Study of Pathophysiology of pregnancy and fetus (ICPPF) in Cairo, Egypt

6. With updating of the Home Page, created 2004 in Tbilisi, which includes all important details of OGASH to spread the information more widely, open for professional readers, collegues, investors, sponsors and patients (www.gestosis.ge). His Royal Highness also created the logo of OGASH.

In the Greek mythology HERA was the sister and the wife of Zeus, the over all Lord of the Greek Universe. She was the protector of marriages, of the conjugal life, blessing the mothers during birth and helper during pathology of pregnancy.This ancient logo will be transferred on an enamel shield and dedicated to

OGASH hospitals to be fixed to the main door of the OGASH Academy, Hospital or of the OB/ GYN Department. It also might be printed as stamp to be fixed to every letter of this department, to every publication which comes from this department und nobody else would be permitted to use these special stamps.

Logos

Creation of Boards, Awards and the Academic Titles

To enforce these his ideas he created National Boards. In Egypt it isThe EGYPT OGASH Regional Subcommittee and its Chairman is

Prof. Mohammed Nabegh El - Mahallawi, MD., PhD.,FRCOG

He also has deserved the highest OGASH Award. He has been honored by the title of an Honorary Academician of OGASH

Prof. Hany Helal Prof. Mahmoud El-Tayed

Prof. Hatem El-Gabaly Prof. Mounir M.F. El-Hao

Prof. Ali El-Abd Ass. Prof. Khaled Saiid

Prof. Amr El-Shalakani

Further plans concern a bulletin published by OGASH, also Congresses realized by OGASH Hospitals. They will discuss certain circumscript problems. The result will be made available through the OGASH Series. These books will cover the many interrelationships in EPH - Gestosis. It is being expected to make these information also available on Compact Discs, easy to be stored.

OGASH owns no funds. Therefore no financial support can be given. No monetary awards are being offered. The support of the cooperating hospitals consists in the possibilities to obtain the information on the running research programs and of the most successful procedures in prophylaxis and therapy in EPH - Gestosis There will also be a "Roll of Honor" to underline the competence of the Member hospitals of OGASH.

And of course to be able to fix the logo of OGASH to your hospital is a great merit and honor.

OGASH is a great effort to foster mutual understanding in EPH - Gestosis It aims at world wide progress in this field, at reducing fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality, creating a healthy population in every country where hospitals are joining OGASH. It is a worthy project which deserves world wide recognition, acclaim and support.

So urge your hospitals to apply for membership of the OGASH.
