The seventh Doctors for Global Health General Assembly is now history. On August 2-4, at Lesley University in Boston, 107 attendees (110 if you count those under 7) were inspired, enriched, entertained, and educated. The amazing benefit concert on Friday evening by Sol y Canto and Sumaj CHASQUIS was well-attended by friends of DGH and both bands. It was a fitting kick-off to the assembly. In keeping with the General Assembly theme, "Health and Justice: For All or Just US?", speakers Dr. Jack Geiger, Dr. Juan Romagoza, and Dr. Alan Meyers presented inspiring messages, and DGH volunteers gave up-to-date reports on projects in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Uganda, Mexico, Peru and the United States. Networking and good fellowship abounded throughout the assembly, especially during the Saturday evening barbecue. If you were unlucky enough to have missed this year's General Assembly, plan now to enjoy the Eighth Annual DGH General Assembly in the San Francisco area the last weekend in July 2003. Watch the DGH site for details.
