50 Years of Medicus Mundi International
2013 is a special year for the Medicus Mundi International Network. We celebrate the 50th anniversary of its foundation. An annex to the Annual Report 2012 of the MMI Network followed for once a “top down” approach, collecting voices and portraits of the Network’s presidents since its origin.
And one of the former presidents, Edgar Widmer, was invited by Medicus Mundi Spain to contribute to their Jubilee event with his personal view of the history of MMI.
On the other hand, in 2013, the MMI Network will be mainly busy with shaping our future: A midterm review of the MMI Network strategy 2011-15 has been taking place in the second quarter of 2013. First results were discussed at a workshop during the Barcelona Assembly.
