Dear Friend of CUGH,
This holiday season compels us to reflect on our lives and the good fortune many of us enjoy. It is also time for us to think of those who face a different and grimmer reality. From Syria and Yemen to right here in DC too many people suffer from exclusion and discrimination to gross human rights abuses. Witnessing such inequities drives us to act with greater urgency and effectiveness. We hope we will be more impactful in the coming year to address these and other challenges people face.
In this bulletin you will see new funding opportunities, reports, events, and awards. Please see our website (
www.cugh.org) for information about our upcoming Global Health conference and workshop(title). On April 6 we will have a series of exciting satellite sessions that are not to be missed. This includes sessions on global surgery and anesthesia; the urbanization challenge - building healthy cities; putting quality in the global health agenda; maternal and child health and more. Make sure to register for these sessions along with the conference.
Also, if you are making charitable donations at the end of the year please support our travel scholarship program. Your donations will help support our colleagues from low to middle income countries to attend, learn and present their work at our meeting.
On behalf of our board and team here in Washington DC we would like to thank you very much for your support and we wish you and yours a joyous holiday season.
Sincerely,
Keith, Dalal, Karen, Bailey and Maureen
The Secretariat
