About SOCHICLIM
The Chilean Society of Climacteric, SOCHICLIM, was founded in 1992, born out of the need to address climacteric and menopause issues in Chile more specifically and scientifically. Since its inception, the society has been dedicated to promoting the study and treatment of climacteric in a comprehensive way, providing continuous medical education to professionals and organizing activities to raise awareness among women over 40.

- Promoting the study and research of climacteric and menopause, supporting the training of specialists in the field.
- Disseminating knowledge through congresses, seminars, and scientific sessions, where the latest advances in treatments and therapeutic approaches are discussed annually.
- Promoting public health by educating the population on the importance of care during climacteric and providing guidelines on medical treatments and lifestyle options.
Contributions to Society
SOCHICLIM has played a crucial role in raising awareness about climacteric in Chilean society, collaborating with public and private organizations to improve the quality of life of women during this stage. It has been fundamental in creating clinical guidelines and continuously updating health professionals on best practices in climacteric treatment. Additionally, the society has maintained an active presence in international congresses, such as the International Menopause Society (IMS) Congress, the European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS) Congress, and the Latin American Federation of Climacteric Societies (FLASCYM) Congress, where it has shared experiences and knowledge with the global scientific community.
