In a landmark move, WAS now has an official federation dedicated to the East Mediterranean region—an important step in our mission to be a truly global organization. For many years, WAS supported a Middle East Committee, but recognizing the unique needs and challenges of the East Mediterranean, we have now established the East Mediterranean Federation of Sexual Health (EMFeSH). This federation ensures that the priorities of this region are represented and advocated on the global stage. The formation of EMFeSH was led by Dr. Faysal El Kak, nominated by the WAS Executive Committee as the federation’s inaugural president. Together with an exceptional board of founding members, Dr. El Kak has united leaders from across the East Mediterranean, bringing a wealth of expertise to advance sexual health in the region. EMFeSH represents a vital step in ensuring the voices and needs of the East Mediterranean are firmly included in our global agenda, and we look forward to its contributions to advancing sexual health.
