Remarkable book from the WMA!

The "Caring Physicians of the World" initiative is the central theme of the WMA Presidency of Dr Yank Coble (2004-2005). One of the initiatives includes the publication of the "Caring Physicians of the World" book that highlights the work of 65 physicians from many of the National Medical Associations that make up the World Medical Association, an independent confederation of free, independent associations of doctors of medicine. These 65 physicians were chosen by their peers for personal and professional attributes demonstrating humanity and the core values of medicine at its finest. Their photographs and stories show how human endeavour and vocational devotion can rise above the conflicts and the turmoil of today's world. "These remarkable stories will help restore pride, passion, enthusiasm and optimism among our colleagues."
