Dear friends and colleagues,

Namaste and greetings from Kolkata!

As we come out of the shadows of the global pandemic, we hope you are all in good health. We consider it an honour, to be given the responsibility of hosting the 21ST National conference of Indian Chapter of IHPBA from the 20, 21,& 22 March 2025. This is the First time that this city has being given this privilege.

The IHPBA, as you know, is a prestigious annual event where surgeons from all over the country as well as abroad come together and share their knowledge and experiences. The IHPBA not only provides a great learning platform to young budding surgeons and residents but also a forum for experienced surgeons to debate and settle controversial issues. This 3 day conference is attended by more than 700 delegates and there is participation from each and every surgical gastroenterology and GI Oncology , HPB centre in India. We are in a process of finalising the venue and various other arrangements. After a hiatus of two years we sincerely hope to organise this conference on a fully offline an in person basis. As you know, organising such a conference requires active support from the industry. The conference itself will also provide a great opportunity for the industry to showcase, advertise and demonstrate their products to representatives from surgical centres across the country. As a part of this endeavour we will be humbly requesting support from the industry in this regard and we shall be deeply indebted for this. We request you to wholeheartedly support this conference by various forms of academic partnerships as mentioned in this brochure.
