It is a great honor for me to serve as a president of APGNA. I welcome you the APGNA website. I have been the founding member of APGNA. We will continue to make efforts to foster medical education and enhance the development of skills in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology in young Pakistani physicians and GI/Hepatology trainees in Unites States and Pakistan. There is quite significant evidence that gastroenterology and hepatology has been facing significant challenges due to rising incidence and prevalence of Viral Hepatitis. APGNA will strengthen the efforts of APPNA and government of Pakistan to tackle these challenges. Another area of where we will be concentrating is to transfer the knowledge and skill by arrangement of therapeutic endoscopy workshops throughout Pakistan in tertiary care centers.
I look forward working with you and will need your help achieve our mission and goals. Your active participation is the key to our success.
