MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASEAN MEDICAL SCHOOL NETWORK (AMSN)
Welcome to the 15th ASEAN Medical Deans’ Summit in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. As President of the ASEAN Medical Schools Network (AMSN), I am honoured to convene with esteemed colleagues to advance our shared mission of enhancing medical education, research, and healthcare across the ASEAN region.
This year’s theme, “Building Impactful Collaborations: Transforming Needs into Actions”, underscores our commitment to forging strong partnerships that respond to pressing regional academic health challenges with innovation and purpose.
I extend my deepest gratitude to Professor Yodi Mahendradhata, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing at Universitas Gadjah Mada, for graciously hosting this summit. His leadership and support have been instrumental in making this gathering a reality.
Together, we aim to create a dynamic platform for dialogue, innovation, and strategic action that will shape the future of health and medical education across ASEAN. I look forward to inspiring exchanges, impactful outcomes and lasting fellowship within the AMSN members.
