President's Message

Dear APPNA Ohio members  

I feel really humbled and excited to be president of the chapter in 2021 and 22. Thank you so much for giving me a chance to serve you.  APPNA Ohio is lucky to have dedicated physicians in EC and have great supportive members. I want to thank all past presidents particularly Dr. Huma Nabi, Dr. Rao Kamran Ali, Dr. Fouzia Tariq and Dr Ghulam Mujtaba who took our chapter to next level, phenomenally and altruistically. 

Biggest war is against illiteracy, poverty and lack of healthcare to majority around the world. APPNA Ohio playing its part for over a decade in this war.  Under Mehdi Qamar foundation, two containers of medical supplies are being sent every year to Pakistan.  Dr Shahid Sheikh is the founder of this program.  Khapal Khor School project for deserving children is sponsored by our members and by Dr Naeem Khan and family and APPNA-Ohio supervises this for years.  Cleft Lips and plate project is providing 80-100 free surgeries to poor in Faisalabad and Quetta areas every year under APPNA OHIO.   This year our priority and Goal is to spend most where it’s needed instead of spending on lavish meetings. We will arrange multiple Low budget get togethers for networking all over Ohio.   

Looking forward to a productive year for our fraternity and community. Let’s work together for our next generation.
