About the ESS
The Egyptian Society of Surgeons, the ESS, was founded as non-profit organization in the middle of 20th century. It has been established to support the highest quality of patient care. The founding objectives at its beginning were the advancement of this Science and art of surgery, and the promotion of friendship among surgeons. Continuing Medical Education (CME) is one of the main tasks of the society & most of the efforts are done to achieve this goal.
The society has assumed a leadership role in defining a core curriculum for surgical professionals, providing educational opportunities, participating in establishing standard for the field, and providing a forum for communication among surgeons.
The Society is dedicated to bringing together surgeons of all specialties to promote surgical excellence for the benefit of mankind.
