AFOMP Presidential Message
Dear Medical Physics Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I extend my invitation to all of you to actively participate in the 24th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) and the 22nd Southeast Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP). Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Penang, Malaysia, this congress promises to be an excellent opportunity for education, research and networking of medical physicists in the AFOMP/SEAFOMP regions.
Under the theme of "Revolutionising Patient Care through Medical Physics," we will explore the transformative nature of our profession in improving healthcare delivery in Asia-Oceania. As medical physicists, we are at the forefront of innovation, employing cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to ensure quality, safety, precision, and efficacy in patient treatments.
The Congress will serve as a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and research findings, fostering collaboration among professionals from diverse backgrounds. Together, we will discuss the latest advancements in medical imaging, radiation oncology, nuclear medicine, radiation safety and beyond, all with the common goal of improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients in our very diverse and unequal region in terms of access to health services and high-level equipment. We are also meeting in the time of the 4th industrial revolution, where robotics and artificial intelligence are going to disrupt our current way of thinking, problem solving, and healthcare delivery.
Penang, with its rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere, provides an inspiring location for our discussions. The local organizing team has strong experience in conference management and they have my highest confidence that they will deliver an outstanding conference with ample opportunities for discussions, education, and cultural experiences.
I welcome you all to Penang for what promises to be an enriching and productive meeting – where once again we can meet Face-to-Face, overcoming the challenges of the recent pandemic years.
Looking forward to seeing you in Penang
Prof Eva Bezak
President, AFOMP
