The theme of this year’s congress was "Empowering rightful needs of women's health through education, best practices & clinical governance" that would enable the creation of an environment in which women can make ‘’independent decisions regarding their personal development so that they would have equal rights in society’’.

Dr. Kanishka Karunaratne, President SLCOG also said“Women's health is an unfinished agenda in the world specially so in the south-east Asian region. Women are a major dynamic force which contributes to the economy of all nations. A nation that invest in women's employment, health and education are more likely to have better outcome, their children will be healthier and better educated. Therefore health of a nation is determined by the health of its girl child and woman”.
