The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing regional network within the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA).
Now comprised of 20 National member organizations, (AMSA-Afghanistan, AMSA Australia, BMSS-Bangladesh, IFMSA-China, AMSAHK, MSAI India, CIMSA Indonesia, IFMSA-Japan, KazMSA Kazakhstan, AMSA-Kyrgyzstan, KMSA Korea, SMMAMS Malaysia, NMSS Nepal, IFMSAPakistan, AMSA Philippines, AMSA-Singapore, FMS-Taiwan, TJMSA Tajikistan, IFMSA Thailand, and UzMSA Uzbekistan), IFMSA Asia-Pacific represents the largest population of medical students in IFMSA. Our medical students hail from a huge diversity of cultures, geography, and societies.
Each year, new countries join the IFMSA Asia-Pacific, as more opportunities for global health learning and action open up to our medical students. The region has been an active participant in exchange programs, a host to many General Assemblies, and an organizer of various learning activities such as Sub-Regional Trainings, Special Interest Groups activities, and other capacity building opportunities. Importantly, an annual Regional Meeting – the Asia Pacific Regional Meeting – is hosted to gather medical students and future healthcare professionals across the region for an exchange of knowledge, ideas and cultures.
