WAPPNA - Women Physicians of APPNA

Women Physicians of Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America strongly condemns the human rights abuse and violations experienced by the people of Pakistan.

Women Physicians of Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America strongly condemns the human rights abuse and violations experienced by the people of Pakistan. We firmly believe that every individual in a civilized society has the inherent right to a fair trial and access to legal representation while in custody. It is essential that individuals awaiting due process are treated with respect and there should be no tolerance for abuse and human rights violations.The safety and protection of the fundamental rights of women, men and children must be ensured and maintaining law and order is crucial. We call upon the international community to engage in safeguarding human rights in Pakistan and assist in restoring stability to Pakistan. The US lawmakers are being duly informed on the current situation in Pakistan

In particular we condemn the acts of violence and sexual persecution directed towards women in custody. It is imperative that these women are treated with human dignity and respect.

We urge the Pakistani government to address these violations and abuse and put an end to such irregularities.

President’s Message

Assalamu Alaikum and warm greetings to you all.

It is with great honor, gratitude, and a deep sense of responsibility that I write to you as the newly elected President of WAPPNA for the 2026–2027 term. I am truly humbled by your trust and support, and I look forward to working collaboratively with all of you to further strengthen our organization, empower women physicians, and foster unity, mentorship, and professional growth.

I am also delighted to formally introduce and welcome our new Executive Committee members:

• Dr. Farheen Irshad Khan, General Secretary

• Dr. Mehrosh Naseem, Treasurer

Both bring dedication, integrity, and a strong commitment to WAPPNA’s mission, and I am confident they will serve our organization with excellence.

Exciting times are ahead for WAPPNA!

We have lots of exciting initiatives coming your way. During this term, our major focus will be on the wellness of female physicians—addressing burnout, balance, and self-care—along with financial empowerment. We plan to introduce meaningful discussions and learning opportunities around investments, including practical topics such as financial planning, investing basics, and understanding 401(k)s, so our members can feel confident about both their personal and professional futures.

To make WAPPNA more accessible and inclusive, we have reduced the annual membership fee from $500 to $350. This is a great opportunity to spread the word, encourage colleagues and friends to join, and bring more women physicians on board. Together, we can grow WAPPNA into an even stronger, more dynamic, and impactful organization.

With your support and active participation, I am confident that the coming years will be transformative for WAPPNA, Insha’Allah.

Thank you for being an integral part of our WAPPNA family. I look forward to an inspiring and impactful journey ahead.

Warm regards,
Dr. Muska Ullah
President, WAPPNA
2026–2027
