It is difficult to believe it is already February – these first months of my presidency have gone by quickly with a substantial amount of work on our 2020-2023 Action Plan already underway. The new Executive Committee has met several times since the General Assembly in October and has finalised changes made at that time to the WPA Statutes & Bylaws, and Manual of Procedures. Updated versions of both documents are now available on our website.

It is with great sadness that WPA shares news of the passing of Dr. Said Abdel Azim on the 27 November 2020, in Cairo, Egypt. Dr Said Abdel Azim An esteemed psychiatrist and mental health advocate, Prof. Abdel Azim’s impact on the profession, and on those who were fortunate to know him, is difficult to condense. With over half a century of dedication to the field, he was a repository of knowledge, and an authority on clinical sexuality. Abdel Azim received his medical degree from Cairo University in 1964, and started his career as a surgeon in Suez University, before deciding to shift to psychiatry residency at Cairo University. He was awarded his M.D and Ph.D. in Psychiatry in 1974, and proceeded to establish the Psychosomatic Unit and the Human Sexuality Clinic at Cairo University Hospital.
