"The Asia-Pacific is a highly dynamic region where more than half of the world’s population lives. The region also bears the greatest burden of disease, both communicable and non-communicable, and is recognized as a major source of emerging diseases. It is also a very diverse region with countries in various stages of development ranging from low-income countries such as Cambodia and Papua New Guinea, to middle-income giants like Indonesia and China, to economic powerhouses like Korea and Japan. Health needs, and health policy challenges to deal with them, are consequently diverse and dynamic. Within this context of transition, there are unprecedented opportunities for innovative thinking, knowledge translation and collective action on heath policy. The special issue aims to capture the health policy challenges of a region in transition."
