The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) notes the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

RANZCOG pays tribute to her tireless, dignified public service for more than 70 years and as the longest reigning monarch in British history, and her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Background

The Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists was formally established in August 1978. In 1980 the prefix ‘Royal’ was acquired and the College became the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RACOG). The new College replaced the former Australian Council of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) in London.
