🌍 World AIDS Day 2025 “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response”

On 1 December, AFPM Malaysia stands with the global community to mark World AIDS Day 2025 under the theme “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response.”

Despite years of progress, the HIV response faces service disruptions and widening vulnerabilities. Yet communities continue to show resilience, innovation, and commitment in driving change.

As family medicine practitioners, we reaffirm our role in ensuring equitable access, reducing stigma, and supporting a rights-based approach to care.

Together, we can strengthen the HIV response and move closer to ending AIDS by 2030.

📢 AFPM Special Announcement: Transitions in Family Medicine Leadership 🩺

⭐️A Heartfelt Farewell and Tribute to Dr. K Sudha Nanthan⭐️

The Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia (AFPM) extends its deepest gratitude to Dr. K Sudha Nanthan as he steps away from his active involvement with the Graduate Certificate in Family Medicine (GCFM) programme.

After years of unwavering dedication and invaluable contribution, Dr. Sudha has been instrumental in shaping and sustaining the high quality of our family medicine training. His persistent efforts have successfully guided numerous general practitioners on their journey towards achieving full family-medicine credentials.

On behalf of the entire AFPM community, we offer our sincere thanks for his many years of distinguished service, profound mentorship, and steadfast commitment. We wish him good health, fulfillment, and continued success in all his future endeavors.

⭐️Leadership Handover: A New Chapter for GCFM⭐️

We also wish to formally and sincerely recognize the immense contributions of Prof. Datin Dr. Chia Yook Chin. As the former GCFM Director, she has left a remarkable legacy, contributing significantly to the development of family medicine training in Malaysia, including laying the groundwork for early foundational training programs and robust mentorship frameworks.

At this important juncture, the directorship of the GCFM programme is being passed to Dr. Isriyanti Mohd Rafae, who now assumes the mantle of leadership.

We eagerly anticipate Dr. Isriyanti’s tenure and look forward to her guidance in continuing our tradition of excellence and to further strengthen the quality, innovation, and reach of our GCFM training.

Please join us in celebrating the enduring legacy of Prof. Datin Dr. Chia and in warmly welcoming and congratulating Dr. Isriyanti Mohd Rafae in her new, pivotal role!

Two colours, one message: care starts with you.
Book that screening, check in on your mental health, and remind a friend to do the same. Because healing isn’t just about the body or the mind- it’s about both, together. 💪💖

The Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia expresses our deepest sorrow on the passing of Professor Dr. John Murtagh, a towering figure and pioneer in family medicine whose work has shaped generations of general practitioners across the world.

His textbook, John Murtagh’s General Practice, has long been regarded as the cornerstone of family medicine education- guiding countless doctors in their clinical reasoning and holistic patient care.

We mourn the loss of an extraordinary teacher, and advocate for family medicine. Rest in peace, Professor Dr. John Murtagh. Your legacy will live on through every family physician who continues his mission of caring for patients with both skill and heart.
