Comments from the
Committee Chair: The agenda of the Pan Arab board for the year 2011included
the finalization of  3 issues:
Bylaws, Journal and Congress. Unfortunately, this year was full of turbulence
in many Arab countries that resulted in delay of many activities. The only
accomplished item was the publishing of the first two issues of the Pan Arab
federation Journal of Anaesthesia: Research and Essay. Although, the
preparation and organization of the 10^th Pan Arab congress in
Damascus was proceeding perfectly, yet we were obliged first to postpone it
and then cancel it for the events occurring in Syria. A decision was taken to
change the hosting country and date to Beirut, Lebanon, October 2013. A draft
of the bylaws was approved in Sharja in 2009, but required the finalization
of the procedure. This could not be accomplished for the lack of
communication and inability to meet in Damascus. The term of the committee
was supposed to end during the 10^th congress by the election of
the new board of PAFSA in 2011. The process was postponed for failure to
gather the general assembly and actual committee will continue to act until
the next election in 2013.
