Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a great pleasure to announce the 31st Annual Scientific Meeting of Gastroenterology (ASMG 2025) will be held on October 24-25, 2025, in Convention Center - Ninh Binh Legend Hotel - Ninh Binh City.

Vietnam Association of Gastroenterology (VNAGE) was established on May 24, 1994, under Decision No. 346/QD-CP of the Government of Vietnam signed on April 20, 1994. When first established, VNAGE only had about 200 members and its main activities were in digestion and hepatology. After 30 years of operation, VNAGE has many new members and new associations: Hanoi Society of Gastroenterology, Association of Gastroenterology of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Federation for Digestive Endoscopy (VFDE). Scientific activities include many fields such as gastroenterology, hepatobiliary and endoscopy (diagnosis & treatment). Besides, VNAGE always strengthens cooperation with other associations such as: Asian Pacific Association of Gastroenterology (APAGE), Asian Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (APSDE), Asian Pacific Association for Study of Liver (APASL)...

This year, we have plans to organize this Annual Conference in Ninh Binh Province. Ninh Binh is province with many historical relics of Vietnam and many famous places. The conference was attended by famous domestic and international experts. The conference will update the latest information on diagnosis and treatment of gastroenterology, hepatobiliary-pancreatic diseases and new information on therapeutic endoscopy... Therefore, we look forward to receiving many of your reports and hope this is an opportunity for us to learn, share and contribute to increasingly sustainable scientific cooperation.

With best wishes!

Best regards,

Prof. Mai Hong Bang, MD., Ph.D.

President VNAGE
