MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF HEALTH MALAYSIA
It gives me great pleasure to write this message for the EndoQE 2015 souvenir
programme.
The Ministry of Health, Malaysia has always been very committed towards the
development and growth of subspecialities in Medicine. It has a very serious
commitment to Fellowship Training in these supspecialities. Gastroenterology
Fellowship training begin in the 1990s in the Ministry of Health. Today numerous
Ministry of Health-trained gastroenterologists serve both in the public and private
sectors in Malaysia. There are currently 146 gastroenterologist registered under
the NSR.
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy essentially began in Malaysia as a surgical discipline. However, over the
past 30 years, GI Endoscopy has increasingly been performed by physician gastroenterologists in
Malaysia.
The progress in GI Endoscopy over the past decade has been nothing short of phenomenal. Various
new Therapeutic GI Endoscopic procedures have been developed and boldly explore therapeutic
areas which were formerly the domain of surgeons and radiologists. Therapeutic ERCP, Therapeutic
Endoscopic Ultrasound, NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery), Image-Enhanced
Endoscopy and Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) are some of the new exciting new areas in
Therapeutic GI Endoscopy.
I would also like to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kota Kinabalu for being the only KKM centre
of training for Post Basic Endoscopic Nursing. It has helped to produce more than 340 endoscopy
nurses and assistant medical officers, i.e. Gastrointestinal Assistants (GIAs), for the whole country
serving in both the public and private sectors.
I would like to congratulate the Gastroenterology Unit of the Department Of Medicine, Queen Elizabeth
Hospital for organising EndoQE 2015, the 2nd Sabah International Endoscopy Workshop. I understand
that EndoQE 2014 was very successfully held last year.
I understand that a “Hands-On” Workshop for GI Fellows and Live Endoscopy featuring various
advanced therapeutic endoscopic procedures in ERCP and EUS will be highlights of EndoQE 2015
along with a workshop on Advanced Endoscopic Imaging.
I am told that among the outstanding international faculty assembled are two living legends, namely
current president of the WEO (World Endoscopy Organisation), Dr Nageshwar Reddy from Hyderabad,
India and Dr David Carr-Locke from New York, USA who was past president of ASGE (American
Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy). We are truly honoured to have such a world-renowned faculty
hailing from India, USA, Singapore, Australia and Malaysia who are true masters of Endoscopy.
I am impressed that prestigious GI organisations such as EUS-TAP (EUS TASK FORCE ASIA PACIFIC)
and WIGNAP (Women in Gastroenterology Asia Pacific) are participating in this workshop.
I am pleased that the program includes an Endoscopy Nursing Workshop which was held yesterday,
a “Hands-On” Endoscopy workshop for GI Fellows focusing on ERCP and Endoscopic Ultrasound
today, State-of-the-art lectures and of course, Live Endoscopy. In addition, I am given to understand
that there will be a teaching workshop focusing entirely on Advanced Colonoscopy Imaging.
I am confident that all 350 attendees will benefit immensely from this workshop. Do have an enjoyable
workshop.
Thank you.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT,EndoQE
WORLD2015
ENDOSCOPY
ORGANIZATION (WEO)
It is a great pleasure to know that EndoQE 2015 is being organised by
Dr Jayaram Menon in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. In recent years gastrointestinal
endoscopy has made remarkable progress because of advances in technology
and techniques. Image enhanced endoscopy has know resulted in better
visualisation of lesions in GI tracts and similarly endocytoscopy, optical
coherence tomography and confocal endo microscopy have all enhanced our
ability to obtain optical biopsies even before the pathologists sees the lesion.
Parallel development in stent technology and instrumentation have resulted in
remarkable advances in interventional endoscopy. Combinations of palliative procedures like stenting
with Radio Frequency Abiation and Photo Dynamic Therapy have resulted in not only better quality of
life in advanced malignancies but also increased survivals. In the beginning of this new millennium we
are on the threshold of pathbreaking developments in the field of GI endoscopy. Workshops, live
demonstrations and video based lecturers are extremely important methods of transmitting the rapidly
expanding knowledge in diagnostic and interventional endoscopy. EndoQE 2015 comes at a right time
to showcase all these developments. I have known Dr Jayaram Menon over a decade now and I am
impressed by his knowledge, organisational ability and his leadership and I am sure he and his team
will organise a superb meeting to convey the excitement of all these new developments in GI
endoscopy to the audience. On behalf of World Endoscopy Organization I wish the conference all the
success.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, MALAYSIAN SOCIETY OF
GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY
On behalf of the Malaysian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, it gives
me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd Sabah International Endoscopy
Workshop to be held on 10th to 13th September 2015 at the Queen Elizabeth
Hospital, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
This year, the hardworking organising committee headed by Datuk Dr Jayaram
Menon have outdone themselves. Not only does the workshop cover what is
at the cutting edge of endoscopy such as Spyglass Cholangioscopy, they have
managed to bring some of the worlds’ foremost endoscopists from USA, India, Australia, Singapore
and Malaysia, to this workshop.
The Endoscopy Workshop caters for all those interested in gastrointestinal diseases including
gastrointestinal assistants, gastroenterologists and general surgeons. Spread over the four days are
state-of-the-art lectures, live demonstrations as well as hands-on workshops in EUS and ERCP for
fellows.
I am confident that you will have an unparalleled experience both professionally and socially at “The
Borneo Endoscopy Adventure”.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR, JABATAN KESIHATAN NEGERI SABAH
It gives me great pleasure to write this message for the EndoQE 2015 souvenir
programme. I would like to congratulate the Gastroenterology Unit of Queen
Elizabeth Hospital for having organised the 2nd Sabah International Endoscopy
Workshop.
The International and Local Faculty from India, USA, Australia, Singapore and
Malaysia are indeed very impressive. On behalf of the JKNS I would like to
welcome you to the beautiful state of Sabah, Land Below the Wind. I understand
that some of you have been here before. Some members of the Faculty have also been involved in
the training of GI Fellows in Sabah for more than 10 years. It is with pride that we welcome you as the
presence of this World-Class Faculty will truly enhance this workshop. We are honoured that 2 living
legends in Endoscopy, i.e. Dr Nageshwar Reddy and Dr David Carr-Locke, are here to grace this
meeting.
The workshop will feature Live Endoscopy, a “Hands-On” Workshop in ERCP and EUS (Endoscopic
Ultrasound), State-of-the-Art Lectures, a Colonoscopy Workshop as well as an Endoscopy Nursing
Workshop.
I understand that 350 registrants have signed up for this workshop. This is indeed an impressive
turnout of doctors, gastroenterologists, surgeons and Endoscopy nurses.
We are also proud that the Endoscopy Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital is the only recognised training
centre for Endoscopy Nursing in KKM. Thus far we have produced 340 Endoscopy nurses for the
private as well as government sectors.
A unique feature of this workshop is its involvement of EUS-TAP (EUS Task Force Asia Pacific) and
WIGNAP (Women in Gastroenterology Asia Pacific). The latter organisation is indeed unique with its
focus on Women in Gastroenterology. EUS-TAP, I am made to understand, has conducted teaching
workshops in QEH before. I hope that there will be several more teaching workshops in the future.
Finally, I wish all of you a very fruitful workshop.
Thank you.

MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISING CHAIRMAN
On behalf of the Organising Committee for Endo QE 2015 I would like to extend
a warm welcome to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to all our delegates. A special word of
welcome to our outstanding Faculty from India, USA, Australia, Singapore and

(Women in Gastroenterology Asia-Pacific). I am very grateful to these three
organisations for their unswerving support, guidance and commitment to teaching and training in
Gastroenterology.
EndoQE 2014 was very successful and proved especially useful to GI Fellows who benefitted
immensely from the Hands-On workshop. This current workshop also places a strong emphasis on
teaching.
So what do we have in store for you? EndoQE 2015 starts off with a GIA Conference on
10th September. This will be followed by State-of-the-Art lectures on 11th September. We are very
honoured and grateful that Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, the Director-General of Health, has kindly
consented to open the workshop. This will be followed by a hands-on EUS and ERCP workshop
mentored by our illustrious faculty. Dr Nageshwar Reddy and Dr David Carr Locke, two living legends
in GI Endoscopy, will conduct the ERCP session. The EUS sessions will be led by Dr Ryan Ponnudurai,
Dr Ben Devereaux, Dr Roy Soetikno, Dr Christopher Khor, Dr Sharmila Satchithanandan and Dr Payal
Saxena. Live Endoscopy will be featured on 12th September. Dr Rajvinder Singh will round off with an
Advanced Endoscopy Imaging Workshop which will be held on 13th September.
I am very grateful to my indefatigable Organising Committee for their commitment and dedication
without which this workshop would not have been possible. The unstinting support of the sponsors
has helped ensure the realisation of this workshop. Last but not least I am indebted to the Director of
Queen Elizabeth Hospital and his team, the Director of Sabah State Health Services and the Director
General of Health, Malaysia for their commitment and support.
Do enjoy the various attractions that Sabah has to offer. I wish all delegates a very fruitful meeting!

1st ENDO QE 2014 - “THE THINKING ENDOSCOPIST”
Report by Dr Nagaraj Sriram
The Gastroenterology Unit of the Queen Elizabeth
Hospital (QEH), Kota Kinabalu in collaboration
with the Ministry of Health Malaysia organised the
First Sabah International Endoscopic Ultrasound
(EUS) and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) hands-on Workshop on
5th - 6th December 2014 in the QEH.
Graced by renowned EUS experts, both local and
international, this two-day workshop with the theme
“The Thinking Endoscopist” was conducted with
the aim of training and familiarising endoscopists
with the fundamentals of the EUS and ERCP.
This event was put together by course director,
Datuk Dr Raman Muthukaruppan and his team.
The invited faculty members comprised Dr Arthur
Kaffes and Dr Saurabh Gupta from Australia and
Datuk Dr Ryan Ponnudurai, Mr Krishnan Raman
and Dr Mohd Rizal Roslan from Malaysia. The
event was enriched with discussions among the
expert panel on difficult cases as well as short
lectures.
This workshop was attended by gastroenterologists
from all over Malaysia, and witnessed a wide
spectrum of cases ranging from TB of the liver
to pancreatic malignancies. The integration of
didactics, live cases, and hands-on experience
under the guidance of the experts allowed the
participants to enhance their knowledge and
technique in EUS and ERCP.
QEH is the only Hospital in East Malaysia that
provides EUS services. The Endoscopy Unit
was established in 1998 by Datuk Dr Jayaram
Menon and has since evolved into a training
centre of excellence in the Ministry of Health
(MOH). The services offered in the centre range
from upper and lower endoscopy (OGDS and
Colonoscopy), small bowel enteroscopy, capsule
endoscopy, ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde
Cholangiopancreatography) and Endoscopic
Ultrasound (EUS).
