Gynecological Oncology Society of Nepal (GOSON)

About the Organization
The Gynecological Oncology Society of Nepal (GOSON) was established in 2017 as a professional organization dedicated to public awareness, training, education, and research related to the prevention, screening, and care of cancers of the female reproductive organs. The organization works to improve knowledge, early detection, and quality care in gynecological oncology across Nepal.

How They Supported Us
The Gynecological Oncology Society of Nepal supported Women Empowerment Centre (WEC) by conducting an awareness program on Menopause and Andropause in 2023. The program focused on educating community members about physical and hormonal changes, associated health risks, and the importance of timely medical consultation.

Impact of the Support
With the support of GOSON, WEC was able to:

  • Increase awareness on menopause and andropause-related health issues

  • Promote informed health-seeking behavior among women and men

  • Address misconceptions and reduce stigma related to reproductive and hormonal health

  • Strengthen community-level understanding of cancer prevention and screening
