The first EGOI-PCOS Clinical Center has been officially inaugurated at the San Camillo-Forlanini Hospital in Rome, marking a significant step forward in the clinical management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
The center introduces an integrated endocrine-metabolic approach to PCOS, moving beyond the traditional gynecological perspective and focusing on the underlying metabolic and hormonal mechanisms that drive the condition. In this framework, the ovary is considered a target organ rather than the primary cause of the syndrome.
Developed in line with the scientific recommendations of EGOI-PCOS, the model is based on a multidisciplinary pathway that brings together endocrinology, gynecology, ultrasound diagnostics, and nutritional support, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and personalized management of the disease.
The initiative also represents the first public outpatient service for PCOS in Central and Southern Italy accessible through the national healthcare system, allowing patients to receive specialized care with standard ticket access upon referral for suspected diagnosis.
Beyond its local impact, the opening of this center is intended as a pilot model for the development of a broader network of EGOI-PCOS Clinical Centers, with the potential to be replicated in other regions and countries, promoting a more consistent and effective approach to PCOS care at an international level.
The inauguration was attended by leading members of the EGOI-PCOS scientific community, alongside representatives of the hospital and healthcare system, highlighting the collaborative nature of the project and its relevance for future clinical practice.
