The Medical Society for Health Promotion e. V. (ÄGGF, until the end of 2013: Medical Society for the Promotion of Health of Women eV ) is a non-profit association of doctors in Germany who carry out health prevention and educational work in schools.
The association was founded in Wuppertal in 1952 by the gynecologist Judith Esser Mittag . In the first few years, lectures and discussions were held with women, midwifery and nursing students. Today the aim of the association is to add a preventive medical aspect to school sex education for children and adolescents and to offer a low-threshold, outreach counseling session for people with an immigrant background.
The seat is in Hamburg, the individual members work in many regions across Germany.
The association is under the patronage of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics. V. , the German Society for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine e. V. and the German Society for Urology e. V. She is a member of the Federal Association for Prevention and Health Promotion , of Zervita (project group for information and education about cervical cancer and HPV) and of INTEGRA (German network to overcome female genital mutilation).
Since 2015 there has been a joint project with the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) on the subject of unexpected pregnancy in adolescents.
