Minimal Access Surgery Training Centre (MASTC) was established in 1995 with the support from Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital (PYNEH), Hospital Authority (HA) and generous donors. Over the past years, MASTC has built recognized training infrastructure to support training to clinical staff members in HA hospitals and has established extensive network with local and international training institutions to inspire and promulgate knowledge sharing. Being one of the leading minimal access surgery training facilities in the region, MASTC is obliged to explore new horizons of surgical training in the region. The success and breakthrough of surgical innovations has enhanced clinical outcome and service efficiency. With the enormous dedication and concerted effort from our professional teams, we have the determination in developing a lifelong learning culture in minimal access surgery.
