Dear APPNA family,
As 2017 is coming to an end in another few weeks, it has been a very productive year for APPNA and APPNA's team of wonderful volunteers. Each year begins with tremendous energy and enthusiasm which paves the way to great achievements and strengthens our organization.
Currently, preparation for the winter meeting is in full swing. The meeting will be held on in Lahore for two days on December 21, 22 and 23, while a full day of meetings & workshop will be held at NUMS in Rawalpindi/Islamabad. I am proud of the host committee chair & rest of the wonderful team for achieving new milestones this year, including an ACP endorsed CME in Pakistan for the first time in history of APPNA.
We are also completing some very important projects in USA and Pakistan at this time. The purchase of mobile healthcare units is underway and will be completed in a couple of weeks. These mobile clinic units will be fitted with state-of-the-art medical equipment and will be used as free health clinic on regular basis, while they will be used for disaster relief work in times of need anywhere a calamity strikes in USA.
The first unit will be stationed in Texas and others will be kept in Florida and northeast.
In Pakistan, APPNA will establish a healthcare center in collaboration with Edhi foundation. This particular project will be accomplished with a very generous donation by philanthropist and a sincere friend of APPNA Mr. Javed Anwar. Cleft lip/palate repair and Cornea transplant projects which was started earlier this year continue to benefit the people of Pakistan as well as clean water pump project in Thar is in full swing.
I am so happy and proud of what our organization has accomplished over the past 40 years. Each year brings a new milestone and amazing progress which reflect the charitable and educational mission of APPNA.
Let us all keep working together for a better tomorrow.
Cordially,
Sajid Chaudhary, MD
President APPNA, 2017
