Welcome Message

On behalf of the Pediatric Surgical Community, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 61st Annual Meeting of the Pacific Association of Pediatric Surgeons (PAPS), taking place in April 2028 in the vibrant city of Hanoi, Vietnam. This marks a historic moment, as Vietnam hosts the PAPS Annual Meeting for the first time since 1970. While fashion trends may have changed over the past five decades, one thing remains constant—our commitment to a no-necktie policy!

The Annual PAPS Meeting continues to be an unparalleled opportunity for pediatric surgeons and specialists from around the globe to gather in a spirit of camaraderie, collaboration, and learning. PAPS meetings are uniquely designed to not only advance our profession but also foster lasting relationships across specialties, cultures, and continents.
