作者簡介
Rong Xiang Ng is an Infectious Diseases physician and medical lecturer at Universiti Malaya (Malaysia) and holds an affiliate lecturer position at the University of Glasgow (UK). He is engaged in understanding and shaping the future of healthcare in Asia. His clinical and research work focuses on optimising clinical pathways and exploring innovative solutions, including digital tools, to address infectious disease challenges across diverse populations. Dr. Ng's contributions to hospital treatment guidelines and research on AI in HIV care and infectious diseases, multidrug-resistant organisms, COVID-19, and telemedicine in sexual health directly reflect the key themes of technological innovation and equitable access explored in this introductory chapter. As a Fellow of the Asia Pacific AIDS & Co-infections Conference (APACC) and an affiliate of the Centre of Excellence for Research in Infectious Diseases and AIDS (CERiA, Universiti Malaya), his active involvement in research and clinical trials bridges the crucial gap between current clinical practice and the forward-looking perspectives presented throughout this book on the future of healthcare in Asia.

Huey Fen Cheong is a Senior Lecturer at Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. Her interests have been multidisciplinary, mainly linguistics, sociology, education, marketing, and psychology. Driven by a cultural and postcolonial perspective, she collaborated with a group of established scholars to initiate this Futures of Asia series (which contains this book) and the earlier COVID-19 in Malaysia series. These initiatives aim to promote Global South research and publications, especially on significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, post-pandemic normality and transformations, and the rise of AI, which equally matter to non-Western regions and deserve equal scholarly attention (and acceptance) beyond Western-centric frameworks in academia.
