Malaysian Society of Colorectal Surgeons (MSCRS)

In 2003, a group of like-minded surgeons formed a special interest group, with the objective of improving the quality of colorectal surgery in Malaysia. This subsequently developed into the Malaysian Society of Colorectal Surgeons, which was formally registered with the Registry of Societies Malaysia, in 2005.

Since then, the society has pursued its goals of promoting colorectal services, training and research through a multitude of activities, including scientific conferences, workshops, access to academic literature and postgraduate training funding, as well as advocating for colorectal surgeons. Its flagship conference is the annual Coloproctology meeting in March, during which the AGM is held.
