The conference officially began!
In the morning of the first day, staff from the World Health Organization and the United Nations arrived, and the head of the executive committee spoke, announcing the establishment of the World Society of Digestive Surgery!
This was a grand celebration for the digestive surgery community!
The formation of this organization signified the level of attention paid to digestive surgery, as well as indicating the future influx of more funds and energy into this field.
After the establishment of a professional society, there often comes a period of explosive growth.
Not everyone was obsessed with the title of president. Among the nine members of the preparation group, Jim Lawrence was the most determined, whereas Hubert had the highest popularity, and Hamilton was the most low-profile, but he represented the academicians.
