AAPCHS Announces Strategic Partnership with Congenital Heart Disease

The Asian Association for Pediatric Congenital Heart Surgery (AAPCHS) has formalized a long-term strategic partnership with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), designating it as the official journal of the Association. This decision was unanimously approved during the AAPCHS committee meeting held on 18 December 2024, where members from across Asia also discussed preparations for the upcoming 5th AAPCHS Annual Congress, set to take place in Indonesia in 2025.

This partnership represents a major advancement in the dissemination of cutting-edge research and clinical best practices in congenital heart disease across Asia. It aims to expand the knowledge base in the field both regionally and globally while enhancing lifelong care strategies for children with congenital heart defects. By promoting evidence-based approaches, this collaboration will establish a strong scientific foundation to improve patient outcomes, support comprehensive developmental care, and facilitate the seamless integration of these children into society.
