Title
Current status of GI endoscopy in Thailand and Thai Association of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (TAGE)
Abstract
© 2018 Siriraj Medical Journal. Endoscopy practice in Thailand is being performed and serviced by both surgeons and gastroenterologists. The number of endoscopy performed by each specialty is very much comparable. Before 2000, the services were done independently. On 15 th December 2005 the Thai Association of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (TAGE) has been found there is a rapid progression in GI Endoscopy service, research, and teaching in Thailand and its neighbor. Since then the workload for the current number of endoscopists is still overwhelmed by day-to-day service. Thailand and TAGE require the support and collaboration from oversea to expand their need and to serve better for GI Endoscopy practice in Thailand.
