It is both an honour and a deep responsibility to serve as the President of ASPA for the next two years.
To me, ASPA represents more than an organisation—it embodies a spirit of genuine connection, adaptability, and resilience. It is an inclusive space that respects the diversity of work cultures across Asia, yet always finds common ground to move forward together. In the face of barriers and challenges, ASPA continues to work relentlessly, binding the Asian paediatric anaesthesia community with purpose and passion.
I feel a strong commitment to uphold these values and to nurture what ASPA truly stands for.
I have promised myself that I will give my very best during this term. I am determined to take ASPA to its next level — and I do so with great faith, not in myself alone, but in the extraordinary Executive Committee we have, in the vision and ethos set forth by our pioneers, and in the solid legacy built by all past presidents.
Together, I know we will reach new heights — because ASPA is a collective heartbeat, and we all carry it forward.
Warm regards,
Prof. Vrushali Ponde
President
