It is with a deep sense of humility that I start my term as the President of APPNA for the year 2023. APPNA is a great organization and to lead it in any capacity is a great honor and privilege. I want to thank the membership for giving me the opportunity to serve our organization as the President.I want to thank my predecessor, the immediate past-president, Dr. Haroon Durrani for doing a great job leading the organization last year. Under his leadership, APPNA proved its resilience and has finally fully come out of the challenges related directly or indirectly to the COVID-19 crisis. It stands even stronger than before. The organization is on sound financial footings and the bitterness and divisions of the past long gone.
