“The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.” Benjamin Disraeli
Fundamental Traditions • Physicians’ desires and concerns are similar around the globe. • Three fundamental, unifying, and enduring traditions of the medical profession:
“The most important thing is caring, so do it first, for the caring Physician best inspires hope and trust.”Sir William Osler
Progress & Barriers Unparalleled progress in biomedical science, public health and medical care Persistent threats of communicable and non-communicable disease Barriers of ineffective, inefficient andsometimes corrupt institutions, governments, and legal systems

Survey Reveals Global Concerns • WMA surveyed physicians in over 40 countries (2003) • Similar concerns: • Access to quality, safe medical care • Appropriate professional autonomy to provide that care • Adequate resources and facilities to deliver care
Survey Reveals Global Barriers • Lack of respect for professional values and status • Regulatory, legal, and political barriers to care • Governmental attitudes viewing medical care as an EXPENSE rather than an INVESTMENT
Physician Requests for the WMA • Increased information on health systems • Enhanced communication between physicians globally • Communication to the public of the value of medicine and healthcare • Relief of despair, disease, disability, and premature death • Economic return on investment in medical care, biomedical research and public health • Training to enhance advocacy knowledge and skills
