We would like to welcome all of you once again to Mumbai for the 22^nd Mumbai LIVE endoscopy course from the 18^th to the 20^th of April 2025. This meeting carries a special significance as this is our 22^nd LIVE endoscopy course 30 years after we did our first Mumbai LIVE course in 1993. The evolution of GI endoscopy over the past 6 decades has been phenomenal and most gastroenterologist’s have an ambition to master the art and skill of GI endoscopy and the evolving interventional procedures. In addition to having a sound knowledge of gastroenterology, the practice of GI endoscopy and the newer interventional procedures requires adequate training along with immense manual dexterity. As you can see from the conference highlights, we are presenting to you a power-packed program consisting of LIVE endoscopy sessions, Breakfast sessions, Endoscopy update lectures, Orations, Industry sponsored lunch symposia, Informal chai-pe-charcha breakout sessions and a Video contest for our upcoming stars. The conference will be preceded by a 4-hour OLYMPUS / ANBIIG session on the basics of IEE, EMR & ESD. To present this to you, we have a galaxy of International and National stars who have gracefully agreed to share with you their experience and wisdom. On behalf of the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, we welcome you Mumbai for this upcoming academic feast!
