Welcome Message from the President of Asian Pacific Digestive Week 2021
Greetings!
The consequences of the COVID-19 global pandemic have been felt strongly throughout the world and the organisation of medical events has been affected tremendously. The Organising Committee is very concerned about its enormous impact on all aspects of our life. After countless discussions and with the blessing of APDWF Board of Directors, APDW shall now be held on 19 to 22 August 2021 at the same venue, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia.
The Local Organising Committee is working hard to ensure that the APDW 2021, ‘Vision of Excellence in Digestive Disorders & Sciences’ in Kuala Lumpur, continues to strive for success. The theme recognises the rapid advances in digestive disease management; the link between fundamental and translational research. Enriched by contributions from international speakers, we will have excellent and comprehensive scientific presentations in important aspects of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery.
Hot topics in postgraduate course, pre-congress hands-on workshops, live endoscopy demonstrations, career advancement symposia, scientific lectures showcasing the latest innovations along with many distinguished lectures are also available in this Congress.
We are sure that the learning opportunity provided by the Congress will benefit our clinical practice tremendously.
Kuala Lumpur, the heart of Malaysia, is one of the top ten city destinations in the world.
With its renowned gastronomical culture, charming architecture, and beautiful nature hotspots, Kuala Lumpur offers the best of Asia to the world. It is the ideal meeting destination where you can learn, experience, relax and discover the gems of the host country, Malaysia.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to this interactive meeting in Kuala Lumpur next year.
In the meantime, please keep safe!
