Their contributions enriched the scientific discourse and provided Malaysian delegates with valuable insights into how peer institutions around the world are navigating the evolving challenges of obstetrics and gynaecology. OLSS Book Launch — A Milestone for the Profession   One of the most celebrated moments of the congress was the official launching of the Obstetrics and Labour Suite Standards (OLSS) Book by the Director General of Health, Dr. Mahathar. This landmark publication represents a significant achievement for Malaysia’s O&G community, establishing clear national standards to guide the safe and effective management of labour suites and obstetric care settings across the country. The launch was met with great enthusiasm by delegates, recognising it as a meaningful and lasting contribution to patient safety and clinical governance in Malaysian maternity services.

Held in a warm and celebratory atmosphere, the dinner provided a fitting occasion to honour the dedication and service of O&G consultants and colleagues who have made enduring contributions to the specialty. It was a heartfelt evening of fellowship, gratitude, and reflection — a reminder of the deep bonds of community that unite Malaysia’s O&G fraternity across hospitals, states, and generations. Passing the Torch   In a moment that drew applause and anticipation from the floor, it was officially announced that the next congress will be hosted by the Wilayah Persekutuan cluster, representing Labuan, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur. The announcement was warmly received as a recognition of the vibrant O&G community within the Federal Territories and a testament to the growing reach and inclusivity of the congress across Malaysia.
