Since it’s conception, MAPS has been involved in conducting or coordinating numerous programs related to training and development of skills, knowledge and sharing of surgical experience within the fraternity or outside. We collaborated with local and international organizations and institutions to produce world

Before the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, we manage to organize many workshops and seminars all over the country and participate in those all over the globe.

By 2020, our participation were mostly online to comply with safety measures for gathering and social events. Here we share some photos to commemorate the past events with involvement of MAPS.
