In this inaugural Issue, the AAHCI-SEA newsletter shares how members in the region have responded to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Five unique perspectives from AAHCI members address topics such as current challenges and opportunities in Indonesia, using comic strip humor to help calm feverish minds and sort out fact from fiction in Singapore, how local spirit prevailed toward compassionate care in the Philippines, the creation of an application that assesses COVID-19 vulnerability in rural communities of Indonesia, and the importance of healthcare worker safety in Malaysia.
