CCIHPBA
The Chinese Chapter of the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association
In August 2003, Academician Wu Mengchao and Prof. Chen Xiaoping were invited to India to participate in the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Asian Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Association (AHPA). During the meeting, Prof. Chen Xiaoping sought Academician Wu Mengchao’s opinion on the idea of setting up a Chinese branch of the AHPA, and Wu expressed his support. After returning to China, Prof. Chen sought the opinion of Academician Qiu Fazu on this matter, and Academician Qiu Fazu also expressed his support. After that, we obtained the agreement and support from the relevant persons in charge of the Chinese Surgical Association, such as Prof. Du Ruyu, Prof. Zhu Pre, Prof. Leng Xisheng, Prof. Zhao Yupei, and so on. On this basis, dozens of famous hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons (including Academician Huang Zhiqiang, Academician Tang Zhaoyou, and Academician Zheng Shusen), as well as specialists in gastroenterology, hepatology, and radiology, were further consulted, and all of them gave their positive support. As a result, in September 2003, we discussed with Academician Liu Yunyi, President of the International Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Association (IHPA), about the desire to establish a Chinese chapter of the IHPA in China, and then formally submitted the application to the Secretariat of the International Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Association (IHPA). In November of the same year, the International Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Association formally approved the establishment of the Chinese Chapter of the International Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Association in China, with the name of The Chinese Chapter of the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association in English.
