Nov 2014 4th Congress of the World Association for Plastic Surgeons of Chinese Descent
The 4th Congress of the World Association for Plastic Surgeons of Chinese Descent was successfully held on 6 - 8 November 2014 at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building in Hong Kong.
The WAPSCD, as its name suggests, is an association of plastic surgeons of Chinese descent. The first and second congresses held in Beijing and Taipei respectively in 2008 and 2010 have attracted delegates from all 5 continents and have been excellent meetings in terms of both organization and academic standing.
Following the similarly successful third congress held in Xi'an in October 2012, we felt obliged to do our best to continue the fine tradition when it came to Hong Kong in 2014.
The meeting had provided a platform for bringing together experts in plastic surgery to Hong Kong to share their professional ideas and experience and to explore new frontiers in this specialty.
