	The leadership provided by the past presidents ensured that SAFOG would progress steadily to what it is today. The first three presidents of the Federation Prof. Rashid Latif Kahn, Prof T A Choudhury and The late Dr. Lakshman Fernanado ensured that the SAFOG concept would be established and the member national societies would get familiarised with each other and interact professionally. The tenure of Dr. D K Tank saw the initiation of advocacy with government and a path developed for partnership between the national societies and the state organization particularly in India.
