About/Inspiration: The Avicenna Physicians Society (APS)
“History shows many examples of how a community, working together, its members backing each other up and operating as a community, can develop an influence in excess of what would normally or otherwise have been possible… I believe that Ismaili professionals and businesses around the world [can] review how best they can work together, how our traditions of collaboration can be given new life and new, original, productive forms of expression”. Prince Amyn address to the Ismaili Economic Forum at the Ismaili Centre, Dubai, April 26, 2008
The Avicenna Physicians Society (APS), a non-profit society established in British Columbia, was formed in 2012.
