We have invited a team of elite speakers, all whom are experts in their respective fields all across Malaysia to bring you a comprehensive and an up to date forum that is sure to ignite your minds. Talks will be covering latest updates regarding managements of surgical diseases as well as conundrums that we face in our practices. As an added bonus, besides brain stimulating activities the committee would like to invite you to indulge in the various nature and leisure activities around the famous Sabah's nature city, Sandakan. We look forward and appreciate your presence and support during this conference. Hope to see you soon.
