It is with profound privilege and a deep sense of responsibility that I, the incumbent General Secretary of the Pakistan Association of Cardiothoracic Anesthetists (PACTA) since 2023, acknowledge the trust and confidence bestowed upon me by the esteemed PACTA community. During my tenure, we have witnessed significant advancements, including the organization of impactful workshops, the launch of a comprehensive website, and the ongoing pursuit of accreditation processes for crucial programs.

I remain deeply humbled by the dedication and tireless efforts of our predecessors who have established PACTA as a leading force in the field. Building upon their legacy, the PACTA Secretariat is firmly committed to supporting and contributing to the ongoing development of the PACTA community. We strive to facilitate knowledge sharing and professional development through a diverse range of initiatives, including symposia, conferences, workshops, and comprehensive online lectures.

Furthermore, I am firmly committed to upholding PACTA's vision, supporting the professional development of members through the utilization of all available resources. I have unwavering faith that under the exceptional leadership and guidance of Prof. Amin Khawaja, The President, PACTA will continue to flourish and achieve all its ambitious goals.

I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with each of you in the years to come, fostering the continued growth and advancement of cardiothoracic anesthesia within Pakistan.
