Peking University, November 23: Recently Professor Mu Rong, dean of Rheumatology and Immunology Department of Peking University Third Hospital was elected co-chair of the Education Committee of Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR).
APLAR is the non-profit organization affiliated to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology and was founded in 1963. It consists of 30 member associations for rheumatology from countries in the Asia-Pacific area. APLAR covers the geographic area from New Zealand in Oceania to Jordan in the Middle East.
