The World Endoscopy Organization, WEO, was established in 1962 at the World Congress of Gastroenterology in Munich, Germany. Since then it has led the worldwide promotion of high standards and quality in endoscopy by enhancing both international cooperation and access to training and education.
WEO is a nonprofit umbrella organization covering three geographical zones: Asia-Pacific (via the Asian-Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy, A-PSDE), Europe/Mediterranean (European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, ESGE) and the Americas (Interamerican Society of Digestive Endoscopy, SIED). In 2018, WEO opened its doors to individual members, who can now access a global network of specialists.
As part of its goals, WEO develops projects and educational activities that can be adapted to local needs. |
