Invitation

Dear Colleague,

We are honored and delighted to invite you to the joint Annual Congress of the Asia Pacific Hernia Society (APHS) and Hernia Society of India (HSI), to be held in Delhi, India, from 18th to 20th September, 2025.

Asia Pacific hernia Society was established in 2004 in Bali, Indonesia with like minded hernia enthusiasts. We have witnessed firsthand the society's evolution from a small group of dedicated individuals to a thriving international community of hernia surgeons. The evolution has been both in terms of the number of members and the quality of the activities conducted over the years. The avowed objective of this homogeneous society, APHS, was to advance the art and science of hernia surgery by adopting best contemporary hernia practices. APHS has been instrumental in advancing the field of herniology through education, research, and collaboration. We have organized numerous congresses, workshops, and training programs, providing a platform for knowledge sharing and skill development.

The upcoming APHS 2025 congress will be a testament to our society's growth and impact. The scientific committee and the organizing committee are diligently curating a comprehensive scientific program. Renowned experts from around the world will share their latest research, clinical experiences, and surgical techniques. The Pre-congress Workshops will offer in-depth training and hands-on experience for participants.

As we gather to share our collective experiences and expertise, we aim to not only advance the field of hernia surgery but also strengthen bonds of camaraderie and collaboration that transcend geographical boundaries.

Delhi can serve as a base for friends wanting to explore other regions of India. Delhi is well connected by air, train and road to most tourist destinations. It would be ideal to plan for a holiday too to witness your favorite getaways be it the beach, the mountains or forts and palaces.

We are confident that this congress will be an unforgettable experience, providing you with valuable insights, networking opportunities, and inspiration. We look forward to welcoming you to Delhi and celebrating the achievements of APHS together.

Sincerely,
