The ISHAWS’ assets consist of the membership fees paid to the chapter, which will be transferred to the EHS for its share. Therefore, members of ISHAWS will simultaneously be members of EHS and will have the right to receive the official publication of the EHS, the journal "Hernia."

Additionally, the assets will include any funds from contributions by public and private entities, donations, bequests from individuals, and anything else expressly left to it. Any financial income will be used for administrative expenses, the implementation of scientific projects, and anything related to the subject matter.
