Joint Foreword
18th APSPGHAN Conference – Bali, Indonesia | 7–10 July 2027
It is our great pleasure to welcome all delegates to the 18th Asia Pacific Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (APSPGHAN) Conference, hosted this year on the beautiful island of Bali, Indonesia. We are honored to gather colleagues from across Indonesia, the Asia-Pacific region, and the global pediatric community for this important scientific event.
As Chairs of the Pediatric Gastroenterology Working Group and the Pediatric Nutrition & Metabolic Disease Working Group of the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI), we are proud to support a meeting that brings together diverse expertise across the field of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition (PGHN). This year’s theme, “Beyond Boundaries: Holistic, Sustainable & Innovative Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Care for All,” reflects our shared commitment to advancing child health through collaboration, compassion, and scientific progress.
The conference program offers a rich blend of cutting-edge research, practical clinical updates, multidisciplinary discussions, and regionally relevant perspectives. Whether you work in a tertiary referral center, a district hospital, or a community setting, we hope this meeting will strengthen your knowledge, broaden your professional network, and inspire new approaches to improving the lives of children and families.
We extend our deepest appreciation to APSPGHAN, IDAI, our scientific and organizing committees, as well as our partners and sponsors for their dedication and support in bringing this conference to life. We also hope you will enjoy the warmth, culture, and hospitality that Bali is renowned for.
On behalf of the Indonesian Pediatric Society, we warmly welcome you to APSPGHAN 2027. May this gathering spark new ideas, meaningful collaborations, and a renewed commitment to our shared vision: “Every Child, Every Country, One Shared Future.”
