MEMBERS FEEDBACK

“I was first introduced to ELSA through the outreach program conducted in BPKIHS, Nepal in 2012-13, during my surgical residency, and I have been its member since. It has helped me grow professionally, enhanced my laparoscopic skills, and socially, provided a platform for networking with other professionals around Asia and beyond.
