The Asian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) was officially founded at the 6th AMSC in the Philippines. The nine Founding Members were Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand.
The 5th AMSC 1984 was held in Singapore, but Singapore is not included as a founding member of AMSA. Though to the joy of all, they rejoined the family and revived their membership in 2012!
We are not quite sure when the chair of AMSA International’s Executive Committee started being called the “Overall Chairperson”. We would like to honor the people who made a contribution to AMSA. Please help us fill in the blanks!
Here is a shot of the five of us, Eugene Makalingga, Aprilianto Eddy Wiria, Waka Shibata, Juin Yi Ng and Samuel Vo, who were at the First Reunion Dinner!
