HPBASA is a multidisciplinary association with a common interest in diseases of the Liver, Pancreas, and Biliary system.

At a meeting held in the Magaliesberg mountains in 2005, a group of surgeons and gastroenterologists decided to establish a multidisciplinary organ-based grouping related to hepatic, pancreatic, and biliary diseases.

We have elected to establish an independent association that will be linked to the European Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary Association. We already have a representative on the executive committee of that association.

What is unique about this association is the broad multidisciplinary nature of its members, which includes: General Surgery, Gastroenterology, Radiology, Medical Oncology and Radiation therapy, Transplant Surgery, Anaesthesiology and Pathology.

The HPBASA works in close cooperation with the various discipline-based associations and societies.
