Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

As the General Secretary of the Asia-Pacific Society of Thyroid Surgery (APTS), I am delighted to invite you to the 6th APTS Congress, to be held in Singapore from April 8 to 12, 2026. This event underscores our collective dedication to advancing thyroid surgery through innovation, collaboration, and excellence across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

For over past decades, APTS has led the way in promoting cutting-edge research, refining surgical techniques, and improving patient outcomes. Our vibrant community, now exceeding 1,500 professionals from over 50 countries, thrives on the commitment of our members and committee leaders. I extend my deepest gratitude for their tireless efforts in driving our mission forward.

APTS 2026 will serve as an exceptional platform for clinicians, researchers, and students to engage with the latest advancements, exchange transformative insights, and tackle key challenges in thyroid surgery. Our carefully curated scientific program features keynote lectures, interactive symposiums, panel discussions, and free paper presentations. The hands-on pre-congress workshop on ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures designed to enhance your practical skills and expertise.

Set against Singapore’s dynamic blend of cultural heritage and modern sophistication, this congress offers more than academic enrichment—it’s a chance to connect, collaborate, and experience the city’s renowned hospitality and vibrant culinary landscape. From networking with global leaders to exploring Singapore’s unique allure, APTS 2026 promises to inspire and enrich both professionally and personally.

Join us in Singapore to shape the future of thyroid surgery, build lasting connections, and contribute to advancing medical treatment and care. I warmly invite you to this enlightening and memorable gathering, where together, we will push the boundaries of our field.
