DGH was founded in 1995 by volunteers who were accompanying the communities of war-torn Morazán province in north-eastern El Salvador in their struggle to implement primary health care and public health services. Watch the video below to learn more. From seeds planted by those few committed volunteers DGH has grown into a thriving international movement for health and human rights.
