It is an honour for UKM to receive the recognition from one of the world’s prestigious institutions. I wish to thank all the hard work done by all parties in particular the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Ministry of Higher Education, Professor Datuk Dr Hanafiah as Pro Vice Chancellor of UKM and past RCSED international surgical advisor who has been instrumental in developing this partnership. I hope this collaboration will continue to flourish in the future and become the hub of surgical training and education in this region.
