The primary mission of the Association is to be the prime interdisciplinary organisation for HPB-surgical science and scholarship in our region, and to provide an international forum for presenting the state-of-the-art developments and science of HPB-surgery. This mission is currently accomplished by conducting a biennial scientific meeting (alternating with the IHPBA World congress), and other annual events such as consensus conferences, post graduate courses, technical courses, and workshops. The E-AHPBA may also support educative and scientific activities from its members and strategic partners. The E-AHPBA has also strengthened it thrust to improve the educational activities through formalising the Post Graduate course curriculum and its delivery through National Chapters.
