The HPBASA was formed in 2005. It is a multidisciplinary association of clinicians working in the field of HPB diseases. Since 2005 we have convened a biennial congress with a focused /consensus meeting in the alternative years. In 2011 we hosted the Biennial congress of the European-Africa HPBA. The association engages in national issues related to the management of HPB diseases and has hosted a guidelines process for the management of Chronic Pancreatitis.
