WHO Update Floods in Pakistan - Health Cluster bulletin No 10 - 11 August 2010

Unfortunately due to low registration numbers the conference has been canceled. Please contact board members directly with questions. We look forward to seeing you at the next AAPA conference.

We have met many of you at this years AAPA conference. Thanks for coming by our booth and thank you for your interest in Physician Assistants for Global Health and global health in general. We are a network of PA's organized to advocate and support PA's and the use of PA's in under served areas. There is a tremendous amount of interest in volunteering, global health, and the PA role in the international arena. PAGH was designated by the AAPA to handle many of these issues. We are the only PA organization of this type and are working to organize and centralize the PA profession and support individual PA's in their efforts. _________________________________________________________________________________
