The Medical Association of South East Asian Nations (MASEAN) had a successful meeting in Jakarta from 3 December 2022 to 4 December 2022, with the Indonesian Medical Association (Ikatan Dokter Indonesia) serving as a most gracious host. The theme for the meeting was "Health Sector Recovery after COVID-19 Pandemic". Each participant country shared their pandemic experiences, the roles of their National Medical Associations in the pandemic and how each country planned to emerge stronger from the pandemic.
