At the heart of Libya’s medical progress, the Libyan Society for Gastroenterology/Hepatology and Endoscopy stands as a pioneer in serving a specialty that touches human health at its deepest levels. The Society was officially registered on April 23, 2026, in the belief that medical advancement can only be built on the foundations of science, collaboration, and continuous development. This was followed by the issuance of its license to practice scientific activity on May 11, 2026, marking the formal launch of its journey, bringing together under its umbrella an elite group of physicians and consultants specialized in gastroenterology, hepatology, and endoscopy, to serve as a unified voice striving to elevate the standard of healthcare in this vital field.

The Society carries a comprehensive mission that includes spreading scientific awareness, enhancing the competence of medical professionals through continuous training programs and scientific conferences, promoting knowledge exchange with regional and international counterpart societies. The society aims to support scientific research and encourage the adoption of the latest diagnostic and therapeutic advances in gastroenterology and endoscopy.

The society’ website looks forward to become a platform that brings together physicians, researchers, and all those interested, and a window through which the Libyan medical community can view everything new in this specialty.
