JAFES Editorial Board members from the ASEAN countries hold a productive virtual editorial board meeting to finalize its second issue, provide updates, and discuss operational concerns.
Read more about 5 November 2020 ~ JAFES Editorial Board Meeting via ZoomWhile the whole world is grappling with the COVID-19 public health threat, we at the JAFES hope to contribute by providing a platform to discuss these relevant issues from our regional perspective in Southeast Asia.
We all hope to better understand how COVID-19 is affecting the clinical picture, diagnosis, and subsequent management of our patients, particularly its impact on diabetes and other endocrine disorders.
We welcome case reports, observational studies, diagnostic and management challenges, of endocrine patients suffering from COVID-19, which we shall incorporate in the upcoming May and November 2020 issue. We will be working on shorter timelines as we consider these reports urgent, to inform and assist others in dealing with this unknown enemy as soon as possible.
Praying that we are able to work together as one, to overcome these critical times. Please stay healthy and always keep safe.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
ELIZABETH PAZ-PACHECO, MD, FPCP, FPSEDM
