However, the learning curve required to obtain expertise in minimal-access surgery has been an issue in the surgeon community. IAMAS has been formed to overcome this barrier. Our agenda at IAMAS is to increase the penetration of Minimal Access Surgery in India and overseas. I am confident of receiving co-operation, suggestions and engagement from all our members to help our society achieve its objective.
