Who We Are
The Ananthapuramu Obstetrics & Gynaecological Society brings together obstetricians and gynaecologists practising in and around Ananthapuram district. As a constituent society, we work to raise the standard of women's healthcare across Rayalaseema through continuing medical education, clinical audit, community outreach and mentorship of post graduate students.
Hosting the 12th Annual Conference of Andhra Pradesh is a privilege and a responsibility. It gives our members the chance to welcome colleagues from every district of Andhra Pradesh, and to put Ananthapuramu on the academic map for three days of sustained, practical learning.
Our work rests on a simple premise. Good obstetric and gynaecological care is not the preserve of metropolitan centres. With the right training, protocols and equipment, it belongs in every district hospital and every nursing home in the state.
Conference Theme
Three ideas run through the logo of this conference, and through everything we have planned.
The five women on our logo represent a continuum, from childhood and adolescence through the reproductive years, pregnancy, and into the menopausal transition and beyond. Care at each stage deserves the same rigour.
Cervical cancer remains largely preventable, yet it still takes too many women in our state. Our oncology track focuses on screening, HPV vaccination and early referral pathways that work in real district settings.
At the centre of the logo sits a mother holding her newborn. Safe birth, respectful maternity care and the prevention of avoidable maternal death remain the heart of our specialty.
The Host City
A Rayalaseema city of granite hills, silk weaving, groundnut fields and some of the finest Vijayanagara stone carving anywhere in India.
Ananthapuramu, also written Anantapur, sits in the southern region of Andhra Pradesh on the Deccan plateau, close to the Karnataka border and roughly four hours by road from Bengaluru. It is a district headquarters with a long history, an unhurried pace and a reputation for genuine hospitality.
The countryside around the city is dry, boulder-strewn and quietly beautiful, dotted with hill forts that once guarded the Vijayanagara frontier. Lepakshi, Penukonda and Gooty are all within an easy drive. Puttaparthi draws visitors from every continent. Thimmamma Marrimanu, a banyan whose canopy covers several acres, is among the largest trees in the world.
August brings pleasant weather, typically between 22°C and 32°C, with occasional showers. Light cottons and a compact umbrella are all you will need.

Our Aims

Hands-on workshops with enough stations and enough time that every participant gets meaningful practice.
Dedicated free paper and poster presentation, judged properly, with awards that mean something.
Time to meet the colleagues you will ring at 2 am, and to agree on how transfers should work.
Practical medico-legal guidance on consent, records and communication when outcomes are poor.
Good food, good company and a glimpse of Rayalaseema. Conferences should be worth attending in person.
