It is my humble task to invite you to the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver Annual Convention in Manila, Philippine on February 20-24, 2019.

Soaring to New Heights in Hepatology embodies the thrust of the conference as it generates stimulating changes from highly effective drugs for treatment for liver cancer, cure for Hepatitis C, emerging therapies for Hepatitis B and other hepatitides as well as metabolic liver diseases. An assembly of over 50 countries from the Asian Pacific Region, APASL-MANILA aspires to bring together scientists, clinicians, students, other specialties and associates to discuss cutting edge technology in frontline of hepatology treatment merging with tools for digital exchange. Workshops were specifically designed to be a platform for exchange of ideas between mentors and mentee, Debate forum on ambiguous issues on treatment and management as well as Clinical Research forums featuring innovative concepts and techniques aimed at improving health care of patients with liver disease. Liver Tracks on Pathology, Radiology, Endoscopy, Surgery, Nutrition as well as Pediatrics will provide the framework of the growing landscape of Hepatology.

2019 APASL-MANILA is a distinct chance to interact, establish network, collaborate researches among the region with cultural diversity bound together with a single vision to improve patient care of those with Liver Diseases.
