Since its inception in 1985, CIH has provided training, supplies, nutritional support and educational
services to thousands of physicians, nurses and other health sciences professionals, technicians and
workers in more than 45 countries through over 50 health partnerships and initiatives.

| Over the past twenty-five years, the Center has focused on the development of primary healthcare systems, emergency medical services, hospital and health policy administration, physician specialty and subspecialty training, nurse clinical and management training, maternal and child health services, women's health services, mental health and substance abuse programs, oral and dental health services, chronic and infectious disease control and prevention programs, and nutritional services. If the past is prologue, the coming years are sure to hold many new opportunities for the Center to bring health, healing and hope to those most in need. We look forward to continuing CIH's rich history of providing high quality health education and training activities worldwide. In 2010, CIH will be conducting a series of high profile programmatic and celebratory activities to commemorate its 25th anniversary. These inaugural activities will include the premiere exhibition at the Milwaukee Public Museum of the “Afghan Girl” photo-portrait by the internationally renowned photographer Steve McCurry, loaned from the collection of Dr. Thom R.
