Assalamu Alaikum Friends,
"A new beginning"
Yes, it's a new beginning of an old
phenomenon after its inception more than 35 years ago. Better known
as Pakistan Physician Society (PPS) and now with the same acronym
but a new name of Pakistani Descent Physician Society, we have a new
constitution ratified by your clear majority last December. As you
all know, the society has applied for a 501c3 status (for tax
exemption) which is expected to be granted in the next few weeks,
thereby giving us an opportunity to become even more effective in
rendering useful contribution to various academic, social and
cultural platforms.
Folks, any forum is generally a reflection
of it's participants and hence I would like you to become more
involved to step up to the challenge of taking this society to a new
level of social and academic excellence . I have always felt that
PPS should be a sounding board for the entire community and with its
new status of tax exemption this will become even more relevant. In
my humble opinion the society should consider catering to not only
it's physician membership but as duly allowed in it's constitution
to the select non physician professionals and the business
community.
Lastly, I would like to emphasize the key value of team work and
unity for the success of any project; we cannot afford anymore to
stand divided and we have to put our act together and give our very
best to achieve success.
President
Pakistan Physicians Society
