In 2018, Dr Greg Bunt met with addiction professionals at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine, and encouraged the organization of a Philippine Chapter of the International Society in Addiction Medicine (ISAM). The initiative brought together addiction specialists representing the breadth of addiction medicine service provision, training and research. A fledgling organization, it’s membership represents current and future expertise from the academe, clinical service providers, government agencies, policy makers and implementors, and the clients themselves. With a vision to provide synergy for heretofore unlinked addiction medicine initiatives and activities, we gratefully look forward to our engagement with ISAM with excitement and hope.
