Dear PSS Members,
Greetings!
It gives me great pleasure with you all, as I take over as President of Pakistan Stroke Society for the Session 2024-26. I feel privileged to lead the Pakistan Stroke Society (PSS), a motivated group, involved in stroke care.
The journey of PSS was started in 2004 under the leadership of the founding President of PSS Dr. Sardar Alam, till now every two years PSS had new leadership came and put their sincere efforts for the betterment of the PSS.
As we all know, stroke is a leading cause of disability and death not only in Pakistan, but globally. There are many challenges to providing stroke care in Pakistan, and as President, I would like to focus on the following:
Increasing and improving awareness about primary prevention of stroke, especially in rural areas, amongst masses at large and also amongst physicians.
Aiming on not just the acute and chronic stroke care, but also including rehabilitation to ensure that patients get the best possible upkeep, care and recovery.
Involving every member of PSS to contribute to improving stroke care and also strengthening PSS in terms of activities and membership.
I invite you all to participate in this combined vision, so as to improve stroke care in Pakistan, and support the newly elected Executive Committee which is young, energetic and vibrant.
I look forward to receiving your inputs on activities you would like to carry out, in line with the above vision, and invite you to email me on drmaharmalik1@gmail.com
Looking forward to your support throughout the year and beyond.
Long Live Pakistan!!

With Kind Regards,
Prof. Dr. Abdul Malik
President
Pakistan Stroke Society (PSS)
