The responsibilities of physicians for the health of people in their community include prevention, promotion, treatment, and rehabilitation. To accomplish these ultimate goals, the medical organizations at the national level play a major role in coordinating every part of the medical community. For more than two decades, the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine has pushed all efforts to surpass all the obstacles to achieve the above missions.

On behalf of The Royal College of Physicians of Thailand, we would like to express our greetings on the Silver Jubilee of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine. We do have confidence that the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine will provide more beneficial achievements to the Hong Kong society and to the world.
