As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, all of us at CMB wish to take the opportunity to extend appreciation to our partners and colleagues for their support of our mission.  The contributions of energy, expertise, and creativity from professionals in many fields help to make our small staff a strong force for advancing health, equity, and the quality of care throughout Asia. 

Over the course of the past year, that generosity of spirit has been evident in so many ways.  We see this in our combined efforts to strengthen medical education, to develop the talents of new generations of leaders for health, to take steps to ensure access to quality health care for all, and in many other ways. 

While we may come from different countries, cultures, and professions, we find common purpose in striving to improve the health and well-being of all.  That is a great source of inspiration for all of us at CMB!

We thank all of you for your continuing support of CMB and your friendship.
