Welcome to the official website of Asian Association of Schools of Pharmacy (AASP).

I am very honored to have the opportunity to serve the Asian Association of Schools of Pharmacy (AASP) as its 12th President for the term 2024-2025. The next year of 2025 is also a historic milestone of AASP as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the official founding of AASP.

As in previous years where AASP has consistently held the AASP Pharmacy Education Forum and AASP Conference, scientific meetings that need to be maintained to discuss pharmacy education and pharmaceutical science in Asia and sharing experiences in conducting pharmacy education and research.

In organizing education to produce competent pharmacists, of course, in addition to the curriculum and educator competence, the learning process needs to be continuously maintained in terms of quality as this is one of the goals and objectives of the establishment of AASP. Therefore, accreditation of programs of pharmacy education can be one of the important activities in ensuring the quality of education.

In this period, it is expected that there will be a significant increase in the number of AASP members and more members will be involved in all AASP activities, including summer schools for students in Asia. For that, we are pleased to invite deans and educators at all pharmacy schools in Asia to become AASP members, both institutional members and individual members. We also invite pharmacy's students to join AASP as associate members.

I look forward to working together with all AASP members, Officers, and Board of Directors during my term as the President for the advancement of pharmacy education and research in Asia. Your continual support and cooperation are crucial for the sustainability and development of AASP.
