Our history
WEO was established in 1962 during the World Congress of Gastroenterology in Munich, Germany, where it is based and registered as a non-profit organization. Until 2010, the society was known as “Organisation Mondiale d’Endoscopie Digestive” (OMED), when the name was changed to the “World Endoscopy Organization” (WEO).
For more than 60 years, WEO has been the voice of world endoscopy.
