Warmest Congratulations on the Silver Jubilee of AFOMP
On this momentous occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the Asia–Oceania Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics (AFOMP), it is with immense pleasure and pride that we extend our heartiest congratulations.
For twenty-five years, AFOMP has served as an indispensable beacon, fostering remarkable advances and unique collaborations within medical physics across our diverse region. It has been a vital platform for sharing knowledge, championing professional excellence, and unifying our community under a common goal: the advancement of safe and effective patient care.
This Silver Jubilee is not just a celebration of time passed; it is a testament to the dedication of countless individuals—its founding members, leaders, contributors, and supporters—whose passion has been the lifeblood of AFOMP. It reflects on a rich past, celebrates a dynamic present, and eagerly looks forward to a future of innovation and growth.
We commend the entire AFOMP community for this stellar achievement and look forward to many more years of insightful progress and pioneering contributions.
