The Malaysian Society of Hypertension has made significant strides towards promoting a scientific culture among the health fraternity in Malaysia. One of the purposes of the Society is to encourage scientific research among Malaysians in the field of hypertension. The yearly scientific meeting of the Society has managed to attract research papers from local researchers. Malaysian researchers have also manage to get their scientific work accepted by major international meetings on hypertension like the European Society of Hypertension ( ESH ) and the International Society of Hypertension ( ISH ). In 1994 only 2 papers from Malaysian researchers were accepted for presentation at the ISH meeting in Melbourne. This year, there were more than 10 papers from Malaysian researchers accepted for presentation at the ISH meeting in Fukuoka.
More needs to be done to enhance research activities and research output from Malaysia. This is particularly so when Malaysia is to host the Asia Pacific Society of Hypertension meeting in just over 2 years from now in 10 – 12 February 2009. Efforts must be made to encourage research activities in the field of hypertension, both at the basic and clinical levels. The MSH now is also in a better financial position to help spur research activities in the country. It is proposed that 2 awards be created :
- Research Grant Award
- Research Traveling Grant
