The Malaysian Society of Colorectal Surgeons (MSCRS) has won the bid
to host the 20th Congress of Asia Pacific Federation of Coloproctology
& 14th Asian Society of Stoma Rehabilitation Congress in March 2025
in Sabah.
Assisted by Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), the
win by MSCRS will be pivotal in advancing breakthroughs in
coloproctology and stoma care, strengthening Malaysia’s position as a
leading business events hub in medical congresses.
Malaysia’s first recipient of Honorary Fellowship of the American
Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) and Immediate Past
President of the Asia Pacific Federation of Coloproctology, Professor
Dr. April Camilla Roslani said, “The APFCP Council has once again voted
for Malaysia due to the strong and compelling bid presented by MSCRS
with great support from the government. I am sure everyone is looking
forward to having a face-to-face meeting back in 2025 in Malaysia.”
Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB stressed the importance of
the congress in not only networking amongst experts, but more
importantly, in spurring innovation and research.
Added Dr. Luqman Mazlan, incoming president of MSCRS and organising
chair, “I look forward to showcasing the advances in medical science and
state-of-the-art facilities that Malaysia has to offer to overseas
delegates. Winning a bid of an international congress is not easy and
winning it for the second time is even more challenging.
“We will be proud to showcase Sabah as the destination for the
congress which has world-class meeting facilities and a myriad of
destinations for retreats.”
