Pakistan Psychiatric Society (PPS) has unfolded its vision of future in recent past. I am humbled and seek the blessings of Allah Almighty in my way to fulfill my responsibilities in this new venture of my professional career as president. I strongly believe in teamwork and mutual collaboration between stakeholders. I wished to add my two pennies in the service of psychiatry through PPS in terms of nationwide awareness and destigmatizing campaigns, enhancing the quality of teaching and training, international and national research training and collaboration, impact in publication, patronizing indigenous contribution to existing literature, and keeping our own experience up to date at par with international contemporary practices. I long one day psychiatry will grow into one of the many avenues of mental health profession and we may be able to influence society and law makers in favour of human friendly norms and legislation.

Moreover, we will be jointly working for development of PPS National Guidelines, Book Publishing, GPs Training Program, Free Psychiatry Camps, informational care brochures, PPS membership Campaign and other Initiatives suggested or proposed by members of mental health community!
