The Editor’s speech given to mark the commemoration of the Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología’s sixty years in circulation during the 27th Obstetrics and Gynaecology Congress

Abstract

We have been brought together to commemorate 60 years’ circulation of the Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología, thus being Colombia’s oldest medical journal. It has completed 6 decades of uninterrupted circulation, thereby making the Colombian Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies very proud. The work and efforts made by the following who have preceded me on the editorial board should be recognised at this point: doctors Rafael Ramírez, Hernando Amaya, Arturo Marroquín, Ramón Francisco Sánchez, Rodulfo Camero, Carlos Roberto Silva, Héctor Enrique Bernal, Gonzalo Echeverri, Guillermo López, Miguel Ángel Fernández, Jorge Villareal, Jesús Alberto Gómez, Enrique Archila, Francisco Pardo, Álvaro Velasco, Alberto Reyes, Hernando Navas, Germán Palomares, Jorge Medina, Gabriel Acuña, Arturo Rodríguez, Miguel Pulido , Rubén Darío Guzmán, Luis Armando Muñoz, Luis Eduardo Santamaría, Fernando Cardona, Juan Mendoza, Germán Uriza, William Onatra, Ariel Iván Ruiz, Gilberto Martínez, Jairo de la Cruz and Antonio Lomanto. They have all contributed, together with the present director, towards producing a publication having a great tradition and high scientific and editorial quality.
