ACMA Shield

 

The objectives of the Association (ACMA) are to develop and promote the cultural and professional well-being of Chinese New Zealanders.

ACMA serves as a voice on matters of medical or health concern
affecting Chinese New Zealanders in health research and government
policy making. Its objectives also include education of the general
public, especially the Chinese community of current and recurring
health issues; and to advance education by supporting young
registered doctors and medical students with developing and building
their medical knowledge, clinical skills and character.

The ACMA Shield recognises members who embody qualities that help in the fulfilment of these objectives and thereby are exemplary members.

  • Great passion and dedication to outlined objectives
