Current challenges of andrology

As President of the International Society of Andrology, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Asian Society of Andrology for its initiative in founding the Asian Journal of Andrology. In doing so, I also send my best wishes for the success of this important journal in spreading the knowledge of andrology throughout the most populous continent in the world. This new journal appears at a very timely moment, at the turn of the millennium and at a time when andrology is receiving the recognition amongst medical specialities that it deserves. In conclusion, I would like to call on all Asian andrologists to support their journal and to work to improve the reproductive health of men.
