Dear colleagues,
As we begin 2026, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the trust and confidence you have placed in me to continue serving as Secretary-General of AFOMP for a second term. It is truly an honour to serve our professional community. I remain deeply committed to working together with all of you, our National Member Organisations (NMOs), council members, executive committees, regional leaders and dedicated volunteers, to further strengthen our collaboration and to advance the quality and impact of medical physics across our region. Through unity, professionalism, and shared purpose, we can continue to elevate standards of practice, education, and research for the benefit of patients and society.
I would also like to extend my warmest congratulations to everyone involved in the extraordinary success of the IUPESM World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, held in conjunction with AOCMP 2025 in Adelaide in October 2025. This landmark event was not only scientifically outstanding but also historically significant for AFOMP.
During the congress, we proudly celebrated the 25th anniversary of AFOMP’s formation, a meaningful milestone that reflects a quarter century of dedication, growth, and regional cooperation. A special highlight was the launch of the 25thAnniversary Issue of the AFOMP Pulse Newsletter, and the AFOMP leaders-members sharing session, commemorating our journey and achievements over the years.
Another remarkable achievement was the Early Career Medical Physicist Social Network Meeting, which brought together more than 150 delegates from around the world. The enthusiasm, energy, and vision of our early career colleagues were truly inspiring and reaffirm our confidence in the future of our profession. The AFOMP Award Ceremony was also a memorable occasion, recognising distinguished contributions and excellence within our community. I extend my sincere appreciation to all award recipients and nominees for their exemplary service and achievements.
As we embark on this new term of AFOMP leadership, I look forward to working closely with our dedicated executive committee members under the leadership of Professor Hasin Anupama. With renewed synergy, fresh ideas, and collective commitment, we are well positioned to reach new heights and to further strengthen AFOMP’s role both regionally and globally.
Finally, I warmly invite you to join us at AOCMP 2026, to be held in Busan, Korea, from 9–11 September 2026. I encourage all members to participate actively and continue building our vibrant and forward-looking medical physics community.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we learn, serve and contribute!
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Aik Hao Ng
Secretary-General, AFOMP
