WELCOME MESSAGE

On behalf of the International Association of Surgeons Gastroenterologists and Oncologists (IASGO), we are delighted to invite you to join us at the Annual Meeting of IASGO Egyptian Chapter in collaboration with the Egyptian Society of Surgeons and the Egyptian Group of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, which will take place on May 11-12, 2017 in Cairo, Egypt.

IASGO was originally founded in Amsterdam 30 years ago as a unique multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary society in order to pursuit the mission of the globalization of medical knowledge. Surgeons, gastroenterologists, and oncologists are encouraged to join forces with all the partners worldwide in order to realize the mission of IASGO. We believe that up-to-date medical practice and expertise could and should benefit all communities worldwide, and that they have to be available beyond any kind of discrimination – based on individual, institutional or national levels – to every patient suffering from challenging and life-threatening diseases. IASGO’s leadership strives to implement this vision through a well-structured educational program with a global reach, which is teaching and promoting multi-disciplinary, collaborative approaches for treatment of intractable diseases.

Professor Mohamed Abdel Wahab, President of the Conference, the Local Organizing Committee of the Egyptian Society of Surgeons and the Egyptian Group of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, and the IASGO Executives have joined efforts to develop an outstanding multidisciplinary scientific program. The program includes international experts as well as promising young fellows from the region. This will allow for networking and cross-fertilization among experts at various stages of their careers and diverse interests to promote further collaborative projects at an international level.

Last but not least, the social program of Annual Meeting of IASGO Egyptian Chapter will be unique. Cairo is a megacity with many historic monuments and known as the “Mother of the World”. There will be many opportunities to enjoy sightseeing the beautiful city and meeting friendly people.

Please come enjoy the unique culture of Cairo as well as the scientific program at the Annual Meeting of IASGO Egyptian Chapter!
