Chairs of different UK based Medical College Alumni bodies attended this dinner including King Edward Medical University, Khyber Medical College, Alama Iqbal Medical College, Rawalpindi Medical College and Quaid-e-Azam Medical College.
Mrs Rifat Saleem, Founder and Chair of Zanfha Charitable Trust presented a cheque of £10,000 to APPS UK. Dr Mohammed Iqbal, Chair of APPS UK in his keynote speech said: “We want to pay back to Pakistan but it feels that our offers are not valued by the administrations in Pakistan. We want to send machinery to Pakistan but the government is asking us for as much as 300 percent tax. We want to build centres of excellence in Pakistani cities but the government has to facilitate us.” APPS Kids Club vowed the audience with their song 'Dil Dil Pakistan'. Todd Shea and Ali Imran entertained the guests with their musical performances.You can view the pictures of the dinner via this link: http://sdrv.ms/WygEHT
