Ingemar Ingemarsson, grew up in a rural area in Småland in the southern part of Sweden. He studied and graduated at the Medical Faculty at Lund University and started his career in obstetrics and gynecology in 1972 at the University Hospital in Lund. He defended his PhD thesis in 1975, was appointed consultant and later became Head of the Department and Professor in Obstetrics at Lund University. In 1997 the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists acknowledged Ingemar Ingemarsson's contributions to our speciality and honored him by the "Fellow ad eundum" award; one of seven Swedish obstetricians and gynecologists to be given that honor.
