Sažetak
The founding and development of Gynaecological section and of Section of perinatal medicine of Croatian Medical Association are presented. The Croatian gynecologists started their organized activity at year 1911 in the complex of Surgical section of the Medical Association. In the Surgical section they have played an important role, the vice-president was regularly a gynaecologist. At year 1940 when the critical mass of specialists in gynaecology has been formed the own Gynaecological section was founded, with a first president famous Prof. Franjo Durst. During 2nd world war the activity of the Section was reduced and by the end of the war the Section disappeared together with Canceled Croatian Medical Association. At 1947 there was formal incorporation of Croatian Medical Association to Medical Society of Croatia under old/new name Medical Association of Croatia. Thereafter the Gynaecological Section was renewed, as well. At 1992 the Gynaecological section changed his name to Croatian Society of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians. Since then up to today the Section resp. the Society is continuously acting, up to now there were 19 election periods, with presidents, secretaries and treasurers and much more members of the executive boards. The Section/Society activity was always tightly connected to Gyn. Obst. Department of Medical Faculty of Zagreb: the 17 of 19 society presidents were active professors of the clinic. At a time of social transition and of homeland war the Society was very active in dissolution of federal Union of Gynaecologists of Yugoslavia, but in the including of Society to European boards and associations too.
Croatian Society of Perinatal Medicine is 36 years younger (founded at 1973). During almost 40 years of existence tightly cooperated with basic gyn. obstet. society. The cooperation with pediatricians-neonatologists demonstrated to be very fruitful. During transitional period and homeland war the perinatal society was side by side to gynecological society.

A special section of the next paper will be devoted to the Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics resp. Perinatology.
