Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology, I would like to cordially welcome you to the Asian Pacific Digestive Week 2022 (APDW 2022) jointly with the 22nd Congress of Gastroenterology China (CGC 2022) virtually online.
The fast-evolving Covid-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of collaboration of the medical community in the Asian-pacific region. As the premier annual scientific conference in the Asian Pacific region this year, the joint meeting provides an opportunity to gather a panel of leading experts from home and abroad, who will share cutting-edge knowledge about clinical practice and present recent progress in scientific research. This meeting will also bring the Chinese clinicians and our Asian-pacific colleagues together to share unique experiences, exchange knowledge and find novel solutions to promote the welfare of those living with digestive diseases.
I believe this congress will serve as a premier platform to update knowledge on gastroenterology, disseminate the latest findings on clinical practice and scientific research, build genuine connections and establish trans-regional cooperation.
I am looking forward to seeing you virtually at the meeting.
Minhu Chen
President, Chinese Society of Gastroenterology
