Dear Esteemed colleagues,

Nearly 100 new members from across the globe joined the mission that is ASOMA in the year 2021 and more applications are pending approval with the credential committee . The effort is to take ASOMA to every breast specialist in Asia and globally and we are moving with very definite intent, resolve and direction. .
