Documentation is an important component of ASM’s activities. 

Following the conventions of science, it serves two purposes: other than as an assessment and recognition of the knowledge contributed by ASM to the existing corpus of knowledge, ASM attempts to document and publish all research reports and studies that it undertakes so as to fulfil its role as a repository of scientific knowledge for the public good, especially the scientific community. ASM is now working on developing an effective system of dissemination to enable the spread of information as far and as wide as possible.

The National Planetary Health Action Plan

Planetary health is the science, the policy, and the moral imperative of our time. It recognises that human wellbeing and the health of the Earth’s natural systems are inextricably linked, and that our future depends on maintaining that balance. Building on this realisation, the NPHAP is Malaysia’s strategic blueprint created to embed planetary health at the heart of national development. It recognises that human wellbeing and economic progress ultimately are inseparable from thriving natural systems, and it provides the roadmap to balance ecological realities with social and economic priorities. As the fi rst of its kind in ASEAN, and among the most comprehensive planetary health strategies globally, the NPHAP positions planetary health as both a national commitment and a contribution to the global community.
