A Message From the President

I begin this statement with sincere gratitude for the trust placed in me, and for the privilege of leading an organization whose mission aligns so closely with values I have upheld throughout my clinical and academic journey. I step into the role of President not with certainty of all answers, but with clarity of purpose, vision for progress, and respect for the foundations we have built.

First and foremost, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank my predecessor, Prof. Zulfiqarali G. Abbas, whose leadership has been instrumental in expanding our network and deepening our impact. Under his guidance, D-Foot championed global cost studies, advanced training programs like TtFHCP, scaled the Fast Track Pathway, and brought the diabetic foot into high-level discussions in policy, education, and public health. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the outgoing broad who served with passion and utmost dedication.

Likewise, I extend my warm welcome to the incoming board: president-elect Dr. Salma Khuraibet, immediate past president Prof. Zufiqarali G. Abbas, vice-president finance Mr. Willem van Dyck and vice presidents: Ms. Johlene Sanders, Dr. Waheed Mohammed, Dr. Luinio Tongson, and Prof. Fran Games.
