Malaysian Association for the Study of Pain

Greetings from the Malaysian Association for the Study of Pain! Congratulations on your achievement in getting the Hong Kong Pain Society incorporated. I am very happy to note that it will be a truly multi-disciplinary society from the various members that you have on your working committee.

Pain medicine is still in its infancy in Asia but it is gradually gaining some recognition thanks to some of the already established pain societies in this region. I would like to welcome your Pain Society and look forward to joint meetings and future collaborations in the years to go. You already have a strong “pain” presence in Hong Kong and I am sure that your new Society will go from strength to strength for the benefit of all patients who suffer from pain.
