The College of Surgeons of Malaysia was founded in November 1972 with a membership of twenty- three fellows and Tan Sri Dato’ Dr Abdul Majid Ismail as its first President. This significant milestone has played a pivotal role in shaping history of surgery in Malaysia. The primary objective of the College is to maintain and promote the highest standards of surgical practice in the country.

In 1992, fellows of the College felt the need to extend their responsibility in the profession and through a resolution opted to merge with the Academy of Medicine of Malaysia. The merger was formalised on 16th December 1995.The College represents the diverse interest of surgical specialties and actively promotes the art and science of the various surgical disciplines. read more

CSAMM Guidance on gradual resumption of elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic

As Malaysia moves into the fourth phase of the Movement Control Order (MCO), the impact of earlier restrictions is starting to be seen. While new cases continue to emerge, the curve appears to be flattening as hoped. Nevertheless, with the expansion of approved services, and relaxation of some preventive measures, we must remain vigilant, should a rebound occur.

Update on Guidance to surgeons on triaging surgeries during COVID-19

Following the escalation of COVID-19 cases in Malaysia, healthcare services, including surgery, are under increased strain. This is reflected in the morbidity and mortality affecting the healthcare workers.

The Malaysian Government has extended the Movement Control Order to 12th May 2020 nationwide pertaining to the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia. The office of the College will be closed during this period and the staff will be working from home.
