Distinguished colleagues, and esteemed members of the medical community.
I write these words to express my very warm welcome to the great launch of the official website of the Myanmar Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism!
I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to you all to the official website of the Myanmar Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (MSEM).
At its core, MSEM was founded with a vision to advance the field of endocrinology in Myanmar and foster the highest standards of patient care.
The Myanmar Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (MSEM) proudly recognize the exemplary leadership of Professor Ko Ko, whose presidency from 2022 to 2025 has marked a defining period of growth and transformation. As the fifth President of MSEM—established on March 15, 2008, to advance endocrine care in Myanmar—he has guided the society with vision, integrity, and a strong commitment to excellence, positioning it as a leading force in both national and regional medical communities.
During his tenure, Professor Ko Ko significantly elevated Myanmar’s presence on the global stage. A major milestone was the successful organization of the International Diabetes and Endocrinology Conference (IDEC) 2025, conducted in collaboration with the Myanmar Diabetes Association (MMDA). Under the theme “Advancing Care in Endocrinology and Diabetes,” the conference brought together international experts and local professionals, fostering meaningful knowledge exchange. Furthermore, his leadership ensured active participation in prominent international platforms such as the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies (AFES) Congress 2025, the Asia Pacific Bone Health Conference in Tokyo, and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2025, strengthening Myanmar’s voice within the global scientific community.
Dear Members and Colleagues,
It is a great privilege to serve as President of Myanmar Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (MSEM). I am deeply grateful for your trust and for your shared commitment to advancing endocrine and metabolic health in Myanmar.
Together, we will continue to promote clinical excellence, strengthen research, and foster collaboration while supporting lifelong learning and professional growth. As the burden of metabolic diseases continues to rise, our collective leadership and dedication are more important than ever.
Let us move forward with unity, integrity, and purpose to improve patient care and strengthen our professional community.
Stronger together, we will shape the future of endocrine care in Myanmar.
