In recent times, the rapid pace of technological advances has brought new and diverse challenges to the forefront, which will undoubtedly serve to redefine and reshape the role of surgery in today's society. In this conference, the society aim to highlight the challenges faced by focusing on three main areas: Challenges in Global Surgery, The Modern-Day Challenges of Surgery and The Challenges Faced by Women in Surgery.

Participants of the conference will not only be able to listen to renowned surgeons speak about their experiences, but also have the opportunity to try their hands in four surgical skills stations.
