The establishment of a web site for the Pan Arab Federation of Societies of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain Management 'PAFSA' was always a request of the Arab colleagues in various personal and official meetings. The new executive committee elected in Tunis 2005, considered this demand as first priority in the business order. We appreciate the importance of this project in covering many of the difficulties encountered before by the representative of the office and Arab colleagues to execute many of the agreed upon projects in face of difficult communication among us. The latter was behind the delay in reforming the federation and reconstruction of its committees that prevented it from making use of the effort of our new well formed and active generation that did not find the way to be listened to, to participate actively, or to lead the activities. We are glad to announce the opening of the official web site of the federation www.pafsaonline.org  As you can see the site is not yet fully complete, however, we decided to start as this will allow us to move forward and to invite many of you to share in accomplishing the formation and to share in the various activities. We hope this will enrich the federation and assure its success. Please register on the web site, give us your reference and participate positively. Send us your suggestions and opinion. Allow us to communicate together for the benefits of all Arab anesthesiologists and our Federation.
A special appreciation is directed to the publishing committee: Abdelazeem Al Dawlately, Tarek Marei and Ashraf El Masri for their efforts in establishing the site with the help of , we are expecting a lot from them, I am sure they will do their best in managing the web site the way we all dream of, and will be proud of. They need more help of you all, so show them your enthusiasms. A special appreciation is also directed to the Central Society of Egyptian Anesthesiologists, who agreed to sponsor the expenses of the web site, until the reconstruction of the federation permit it from its own resources.
