Malaysian Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (MABIP)

The Malaysian Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (MABIP) is a non-profit organisation under the Malaysian Registry of Societies. Registered under section 7 of the Societies Act 1966, MABIP is dedicated to bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology. Other areas of interest include interstitial lung disease, pulmonary physiology and critical care.

It was founded on 31st December, 2013 by 6 pulmonologists and 4 pulmonary fellows who were concerned by the lack of progress in promoting minimally invasive thoracic procedures in Malaysia. There was no forum for the pioneers who had developed new skills beyond basic bronchoscopy, performed complex cases regularly, trained local and overseas pulmonologists, conducted courses annually, performed live cases, presented and published papers locally and internationally. The pioneers continued to play insignificant roles in the fraternity in spite of practising interventional pulmonology regularly and growing the specialty in Malaysia. It was necessary for the pioneers to eschew marginalization.
