In case of re-accreditation after 5 years since the first accreditation, usually an on-line tele-visit will be done and if all requirements are met, including fulfilment of recommendations from the first accreditation visit, accreditation may be granted again for 5 years .
However, ESGO may decide to require an onsite visit, e.g. based on earlier recommendations.
After another 5 years (so 10 years in total) the re-accreditation will again be done by a physical on-site re-visit.

"ESGO stands for care for women with gynaecological cancer and takes all efforts to maintain good standards all over Europe.
ESGO hopes and expects that centers, which train our new generation of gynaecological oncologists, will proudly show their commitment to training by ESGO accreditation. Equally, ESGO will thus help our new generation of gynaecological oncologists to provide a hallmark of good care."

The National Medical Research Center is the first in the Russian Federation to be awarded the prestigious Accreditation of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) as the European Centre of Gynaecological Oncology.
The ESGO accreditation testifies to the highest standard of cutting-edge medicine, facilitates the exchange of experience with international medical centers as well as makes for top-level clinical research and experimental treatment in the fields of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery of patients with the female reproductive system cancer.

The Gynecologic Oncology Service, Department for Woman and Child Health, Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, Italy, has been accredited as European Training Centre in Gynecologic Oncology on April 19, 2018.
This important result has been obtained after rigorous review of number of cases treated per year and hospital facilities for patients and doctors, from representatives from ESGO (Prof. D. Haidopulos) and from ENYGO (Dr. K. Zawleski).
As a consequence, four positions for fellows in gynecologic oncology have been opened, starting on this year and lasting for five years.
This acknowledgment is particularly important in Italy, where, differently from other countries in Europe, no fellowship or subspecialty programs have been designed yet.
Thanks to ESGO, this training program will be the natural interface with Europe for the new generation of young doctors, working in an international network.
