I would be amiss if the due appreciation is not accorded to the organizing committee, scientific committee, and others working tirelessly behind the scenes, to make this a success story for you and us.
PSSLD has come a long way from the visionary inception of its Giants like Prof Wasim Jaffri, Prof Saeed Hamid, Prof Zaigham Abbas, and Prof Masood Siddique, but it can never grow without you and never prosper without an infusion of new blood and ideas. So join us in this celebration and be a part of it and make PSSLD part of you.
Thanking you all May you live long and prosper
Mohammad Salih
Chair, Scientific Committee

The diversity of perspectives and experiences is bound to foster enlightening discussions and innovative ideas.
As the Chair of the Scientific Committee, I am deeply honored to be a part of this event, and I want to assure you that our team has worked tirelessly to curate a program that is not only intellectually stimulating but also personally enriching.

On the final day of our scientific program, we have assembled a diverse and insightful lineup of sessions that will explore liver diseases in pregnancy, pediatric hepatology, and metabolic dysfunction-associated liver diseases. These critical areas of hepatology have gained increasing attention in recent years, and our expert speakers will delve into the latest research, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches. Free papers and poster presentations are always been PSSLD annual conferences’ highlights. Best free papers and posters will be rewarded with certificates and cash awards to encourage or trainees and young faculty. Industries participation will highlight the latest innovations in the field and the ones attending physically can meander into stalls and enjoy themselves.
In addition to our already impressive lineup, we are delighted to announce the launch of the inaugural Young Hepatologists Forum, a platform dedicated to nurturing and supporting emerging talent in the field. This forum will provide emerging leaders and young researchers with opportunities to interact with established experts, learn from their experiences, and network with peers.
