The Malaysian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (MSGH) was registered with the Registrar of Societies Malaysia on 24th May 1994. The objectives of the Society include promotion of the art and science of Gastroenterology & Hepatology and implementation of regular training program for doctors and paramedical staff in the various fields of Gastroenterology & Hepatology. The Malaysian Society officially joined the APSDE in 1996 when Professor KL Goh assumed the position of President of the Malaysian Society.
Over the years MSGH has organized annual live endoscopy workshops, annual scientific meetings, clinical meetings and CPD activities. The annual live endoscopy workshop organized in collaboration with the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur since 1993 has gone from strength to strength. The annual scientific meeting – GUT – is a well-established event with both local and overseas participation. Another event which has been organized recently is the Sabah Endo QE (Queen Elizabeth) workshop which is organized on alternate years since 2013. The MSGH celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2019.
