理事長的話
國際外科學會或譯為國際外科學院 (ICS) ,是由 Max Thorek 醫師於 1935 年在瑞士日內瓦創立的,旨在將各國外科醫師和民眾聚集在一起,以建立一股增進國際間的互相理解、善意和發展外科藝術與科學的力量。ICS是與世衛組織(WHO)有正式官方關係的唯一外科領域的非政府組織。ICS在100多個國家擁有超過5000名會員,中華民國總會自成立之初就是會員國。
ICS 致力於促進全球所有各領域的外科系專家、病理學家、麻醉醫師和放射科醫師的卓越表現,並致力於為那些有需要的地區展開國際人道主義的外科手術。
基於這些原則,ICS中華民國總會始終追隨芝加哥ICS總部的腳步。2022年1月1日,台灣高雄醫學大學附設醫院神經外科醫師關皚麗教授榮幸地擔任世界ICS理事長。所以我們的首要任務是毫無保留地全力支持關理事長,讓她能夠充分發揮力量。
由於 Covid-19 大流行,我們對發展中國家和未開發國家的全球人道醫療任務不得不暫停一段時間。但是,我們將繼續為國內偏遠地區和離島提供醫療義診服務。
此外,我們希望於 2023 年在台灣舉辦國際微創手術研討會及工作坊,以促進東南亞乃至拉丁美洲、中東和非洲醫師的卓越外科手術。
我們在芝加哥的ICS博物館有一個台灣館,在台灣台中和台東有2個小博物館,我們將持續維護與更新。敬請在各方面支持我們,如果您碰巧路過,歡迎參觀一下。
我們竭誠歡迎新成員加入這個國際醫學團體,並期待我們所有的成員站出來為卓越的手術和國際人道醫療服務而共同努力。

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT OF ICS
The International College of Surgeons( ICS) was founded by Dr. Max Thorek in Geneva, Switzerland in 1935 for bringing surgeons of all nations and people together to build a force for international understanding, good will and development of the art and science of surgery. The College is the only NGO representing surgical field that has an official relationship with WHO. The College has more than 5000 members in more than 100 countries, and Taiwan Section was a national member since the very beginning of founding period.
ICS dedicates to promoting excellence of all surgical specialists, pathologists, anesthesiologist and radiologists worldwide, and also devotes to global humanitarian surgeries for those areas in need.
Based on these principles, Taiwan Section always follows the steps of ICS Headquarters in Chicago. Honorably we have Prof. Aij-Lie Kwan, neurosurgeon at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Taiwan, to serve as the President of world ICS from Jan. 1, 2022. So our first mission is to fully support President Kwan without reservations.
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, our global humanitarian medical task to developing and underdeveloped countries has to discontinue for some more time. However we will continue to provide our medical services to remote regions and isolated islands domestically.
Besides, we hope to organize and hold an international workshop of minimally invasive surgeries in Taiwan in 2023 for promoting surgical excellence in Southeast Asia, and maybe also Latin America, Middle East and Africa.
We have a Taiwan Room in ICS Museum in Chicago and 2 small museums in Taichung and Taitung, Taiwan. We will continue to maintain and renew them. Please support them and visit them if you happen to be there sometimes.
We welcome new members to join this international medical community and expect all our fellow members stand up for working together for surgical excellences and international humanitarian medical services.
Prof. Cherng-Jye Jeng, MD, PhD, MBA.
