Our Partners
To ensure our work has as much impact as possible, CFWH works closely with Canada’s leading national women’s reproductive health professional associations and other partners.
Our Founding Partner

Since 1944, the society has promoted excellence in the practice of obstetrics and gynaecology and worked to advance the health of women through leadership, advocacy, collaboration, outreach and education.

The Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (APOG) of Canada provides leadership in developing and promoting the highest quality clinical care through education and research. APOG provides a forum for communication and discussion, collaboration, problem-solving, and policy development.
The Society of Gynecologic Oncologists of Canada (GOC) works to improve the care of women with gynecologic cancer, to raise standards of practice in gynecologic oncology, to encourage ongoing research, and to provide information and disseminate knowledge to practitioners, patients and the public.

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the Government of Canada's agency responsible for funding health research in Canada. CIHR was created to transform health research in Canada by:
- funding more research in targeted priority areas
- building research capacity in under-developed areas such as population health and health services research
- training the next generation of health researchers
- focusing on knowledge translation, so that the results of research are transformed into policies, practices, procedures, products and services
The Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) was established by the BC Government in 2001 to develop British Columbia as a leader in health research. MSFHR has boosted B.C.’s knowledge economy, created new jobs, built research capacity and developed health research excellence.
