Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Esteemed Guests,

“Where wisdom flows like the rivers of Borneo — nurturing innovation, tradition, and unity.”

With that note, it is with great joy and anticipation that I welcome you to the 2nd AMRAS International Congress 2026, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Kuching, Sarawak — a land where the gentle rhythm of rivers meets the wisdom of its people, and where tradition and modernity dance in harmony.

Under the theme “Harvesting Wisdom, Cultivating Surgical Excellence,” this congress continues our journey of advancing minimally invasive, robotic, and ablative gynaecologic surgery — not merely through technology, but through the wisdom that guides its responsible use. Here in Sarawak, the values of community, resilience, and respect for nature mirror our philosophy in surgery: precision rooted in purpose, innovation grounded in compassion.

As we gather once more, AMRAS stands as a bridge between technology and tradition, knowledge and kindness, science and soul. The congress will bring together pioneers and young minds alike, sharing insights that will shape the next era of women’s healthcare in Malaysia and the region.

Coinciding with the Gawai season, this meeting is more than a scientific gathering — it is a celebration of unity, gratitude, and growth. Let Kuching’s spirit of hospitality remind us that progress in medicine is most meaningful when shared with humility and heart.

I invite you all to join us in Kuching, to exchange knowledge, to build friendships, and to celebrate the ever-evolving art and science of healing.
From the heart of Borneo, we sow seeds of wisdom for tomorrow’s healers.

With warm regards and heartfelt welcome,

Dr Sharifah Halimah Jaafar
President & Organizing Chair
2nd AMRAS International Congress 2026
Kuching, Sarawak | 5–7 June 2026
