President

Message from the President

It is a great privilege to serve as the President of the Asian Society of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis (ASEA). Given the stature of my predecessors, I am humbled to fill this position.

The Asian continent accounts for a quarter of the world’s population and, therefore, a significant proportion of the global endometriosis caseload. Adenomyosis is a less researched and even less understood cousin of endometriosis, and the evidence suggests that Asia has the largest caseload.

There is substantial potential for improvement in both diseases. There is a great need to raise awareness among the public, general practitioners, and specialist practitioners and to conduct more research. The ASEA plays a crucial role in these areas. We are immensely proud that some of our member countries are at the forefront of research in these diseases.

Our mission is to improve care for these two enigmatic diseases. We will contribute to global knowledge through research, promote public awareness, and enhance care offered to women with these diseases by engagement between our member countries and international organizations with shared interests.
