International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association

International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) is a non-profit organization established in 1994 to focus on medical conditions and procedures related to the liver, pancreas and biliary tract.

History

The organisation traces its origin to International Biliary Association (IBA), which was founded in 1978 in San Francisco. The IBA became the International Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Association (IHBPA) and a World Association of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery (WAHPBS) was also formed with the first meeting at Lund on 9–13 June 1986, with 600 nearly attendees. These two organisations merged to become the IHPBA in 1994.

In 1999 the IHPBA established the journal HPB. The organisation was incorporated in the United States in June 2001, and it established the Warren Research Fellowship in the same year.
