The Philippine Urological Association (PUA) proudly marks a new chapter in its history: we are now officially recognized as a member country of the Société Internationale d’Urologie (SIU).
This affiliation is more than symbolic—it solidifies our place on the global stage of urology and opens doors to world-class opportunities for Filipino urologists and trainees. Through the SIU Group Membership Program (2026–2028), all PUA members and residents gain access to a range of exceptional benefits:
- Heavily discounted registration to SIU Congresses (both in-person and virtual)
- 1 complimentary registration to the Annual SIU Congress
- Access to the Global Leadership Dinner
- Full access to SIU Academy’s e-Learning content
- Online subscription to the SIU Journal (SIUJ)
- A sponsored international lecturer for the PUA Annual Convention
- Eligibility for SIU Council nominations (Education, Research, Scientific, etc.)
- Free SIU Trainee Membership for all urology residents
This partnership aims to amplify Filipino urologists’ presence in the international arena, showcasing our academic contributions, surgical innovations, and the shared values that unite us with the global urology community.
We encourage all members to take full advantage of these opportunities and engage actively with our international peers. Together, we can strengthen not only our local practice but also contribute meaningfully to the global advancement of urology.
Mabuhay ang PUA!
Mabuhay ang Urology ng Pilipino!
Let’s UNITE in the midst of DIVERSITY.
