Scientific Committee Report
 After four months of preparation, the Scientific Committee, under the umbrella of the NY Chapter of the AMHE conducted its first Medical Mission to Justinien University Hospital. The mission was made possible thanks to the on-site support of three outstanding and self-less individuals: Dr. Guerline Roney, Dr. Jean-Lenic Joseph and Dr. Marlyse Dominique. It was further supported by the General Director of Public Health, Dr. Gabriel Timothee and the Northern Delegate of the Government, Mr. Georgemain Prophete. Thanks to their enthusiastic approval of the program from the beginning, the local authorities, who initially had a lukewarm attitude toward the mission, eventually warmed up to it and for the most part gave us a warm welcome.
