Two surgeons have successfully bid to host the annual congress of the European Hernia Society (EHS) in Basel in 2028. At this year’s EHS Congress in Prague, the committee decided in favor of Basel. This will be the first time that the EHS Congress has ever been held in Switzerland and will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2028. This great success was only possible thanks to ZweiChirurgen’s many years of experience in organizing congresses (Swiss Hernia Days), but also thanks to the strong support of the canton and city of Basel, the “Switzerland Convention Bureau”, Basel Tourism and the SGC and SAHC professional associations.
