Dear Colleagues,
It is with deep honor and heartfelt appreciation that I join our esteemed colleagues in celebrating the *Silver Jubilee of AFOMP* – a remarkable milestone that reflects 25 years of shared purpose, professional growth, and unwavering commitment to advancing medical physics across the Asia-Oceania region.
Since its inception, AFOMP has stood as a beacon of collaboration and excellence. It has brought together diverse voices, unified standards, and fostered a culture of mutual respect and scientific rigor. Over the years, we have witnessed the federation evolve – not only in size and scope, but in its ability to respond to the changing needs of healthcare, education, and research.
As Vice President, I am proud to serve alongside dedicated professionals who continue to uphold AFOMP’s mission with integrity and vision. Our collective efforts in curriculum harmonization, quality assurance, and emerging technologies such as AI and radiomics have positioned AFOMP as a leader in shaping the future of medical physics.
This Jubilee is not only a celebration of our achievements-it is a moment to reflect on the values that have guided us: inclusivity, innovation, and service. It is also a time to recognize the individuals -past and present- whose tireless contributions have built the foundation upon which we now stand.
Looking ahead, our responsibility is clear. We must continue to empower the next generation of medical physicists, strengthen regional and global partnerships, and ensure that our work remains ethically grounded and patient-centered. The challenges before us are complex, but our shared commitment gives me great confidence in what we can accomplish together.
To all members of AFOMP, I extend my sincere gratitude. Your dedication, expertise, and spirit of collaboration have made this journey possible. May the next 25 years be marked by continued progress, deeper connections, and enduring impact.
With warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Hasin Anupama Azhari
