Remarks and comments :

This CV just describes the sequence of positions I went through over the years. It does not describe the challenges and fragility of the issues which confronted the foundation of a new profession.

Because the world is not perfect the journey had few joys, abundant tribulations and many twists. However, these were all rewarded by spreading Audiology practice to all the universities, public health centers and private practice all over Egypt and beyond to most Arab countries.

Audiology has enabled those hearing impaired individuals, children and adults, to streamline in the hierarchy of human life namely, protection, health prosperity and the pursuit of happiness. Indeed, our dreams and theirs have come true.

We never believed that no human endeavour is IMPOSSIBLE, the word itself says I M POSSIBLE. 

Let us continue to inspire newcomers to contribute in such a way to defy the test of time.
