LETTER FROM THE CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS Helen Cherrett, MA American Dental Association As we write this letter in the midst of a global pandemic, we are reminded of how critical the work of HVO truly is. Our mission is to improve the availability and quality of health care through the education, training, Peter Curran, MD, FACP and professional development of the health workforce in resource-challenged countries. We are providing In private practice instruction and professional collegial support for health professionals, many of whom are now on the frontlines of delivering care during a global health crisis. John K. Drake, MD In private practice Reflecting back on 2019, it was a strong year for HVO. We had 380 volunteers who served in 425 assignments, and 89 e-volunteers provided 3,600 hours of long-distance training and mentoring. All these efforts contributed Susan Eitel, PT, MAEd Eitel Global, LLC to 3,280 providers receiving training. Richard C. Fisher, MD In 2019, HVO began a new program, the Rita Feinberg Fellowship. Named in memory of a dear board member University of Colorado, retired who had devoted her life to international development, the fellowship provides support for volunteers to serve in specific longer-term assignments requested by project sites. At the beginning of 2020, the first two fellows Richard Henker, PhD, CRNA, FAAN – Secretary, started their assignments in Bhutan in the fields of forensic pathology and emergency medicine training.

vonne Vaucher, MD, MPH, a neonatologist at the University of California San Diego, has volunteered with HVO in Uganda every year since 1998. She first worked in the Mulago Hospital YSpecial Care Baby Unit (SCBU) in Kampala, where she helped train pediatric residents. The unit had limited equipment, but it did have a remarkable resource in Dr. Margaret Nakakeeto, the head of the would92% volunteer again SCBU. Dr. Nakakeeto strove tirelessly to improve the care for sick newborns and assembled a group of dedicated nurses to assist in giving newborns a better chance for survival. Malawi

“We’ve worked ourselves Dr. Vaucher’s annual visits over 21 years have given her the perspective of time to see the many significant changes that have occurred. Obstetric and neonatal services have moved to a nearby referral hospital, and the larger, out of a job.

Recognized for her health —Robert Nassau, MD, care work in that area of the country, which had suffered through years of conflict, Dr. Aceng is now Uganda’s HVO project director, Minister of Health. Siem Reap, Cambodia Dr. Vaucher says it has been a joy to work with professionals who are so committed to improving newborn survival in Uganda. As an HVO volunteer, she has found that the greatest reward is watching former students become leaders in advancing health care, and she is confident that Uganda’s newborns are in good hands. 5 BUILDING CAPACITY Training the Trainers

fter a fulfilling career caring for newborns and teaching young physicians, Winston Koo, MBBS, decided it was time to explore other parts of the world and share his skills in resource-challenged countries. Through Aan internet search, he found HVO and was drawn to its emphasis on education From the HVO and training—what he calls “the keystone” to improving health care. community: While others might opt for one assignment a year, Dr. Koo decided he would volunteer in as many sites as possible within a year. Then, he would focus on a particular site where his skills would be most helpful. He managed to volunteer at four sites over five months—Nepal, St. Lucia, Laos, and Bhutan—but then his plan to travel to Cambodia was sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic. 25+presentations Dr. Koo loves working with babies and observes that parents everywhere want the same thing—healthy, happy children. His HVO assignments provided him with several insights about global health care, which echo those of many other HVO volunteers.

Dr. Koo says he learned as much as he taught. For example, he saw diseases that he had previously only read about, such as neonatal tetanus. Although publications14 Dr. Koo saw some nutritional deficiencies at the sites where he volunteered, the babies were generally healthy. The deficiencies sometimes were related to cultural issues—for example, mothers chewing betel nut or following severely restricted dietary habits. In those situations, which might require long-term “Babies don’t lie to you. patient education and public health campaigns, he says it was best to temper You pay attention to his expectations about what could be accomplished in a short visit.

By providing a moderate amount of technical support that can be obtained in a determine what needs resource-limited setting, he says, it is possible for these infants to survive and to be done.” live a normal life. Winston Koo, MBBS Dr. Winston Koo & pharmacist in front of hospital in Bhutan 9 ADVANCING GLOBAL HEALTH

Dr. Koo was surprised by a tendency to focus too much on treating possible infections. This practice, he says, could miss noninfectious causes of a baby’s symptoms. Furthermore, excessive antibiotic therapy risks development of antibiotic resistance. “Babies don’t lie to you,” he notes. “You pay attention to them, and their symptoms often will help you determine what needs to be done.” As long as the principles of neonatal care are understood and practiced, Dr. Koo states, it is not necessary to have all the equipment commonly found in the US. In fact, he says, much of the equipment he saw was of the generation he trained with years ago.

For anyone considering an HVO volunteer assignment, Dr. Koo advises to keep an open mind, learn from colleagues at the site, and be willing to share best practices. He looks forward to the world reopening so he can continue offering his skills and knowledge to help give more infants a strong chance for a healthy life.

He had planned to work with HVO upon his retirement. As a family, we decided that the creation of this fund was the best way to honor his legacy.” —The Lovejoy Family

As a result of training from HVO volunteers, HVO David Beaton Lovejoy Jr. was a dynamic and dedicated on-site coordinators orthopaedic surgeon. In addition to serving many patients in his orthopaedics practices in large and small towns in New observed improvements in: Dr.England, he generously gave his time and talent to his local community. For many years, however, Dave was looking to make an impact farther away by working with HVO.

Growing up, Dave played football and hockey and enjoyed the wilderness, leading canoe trips in Wisconsin and Canada. He graduated with honors in history from Yale and received his medical degree from the University 82%efficiency of care of Rochester School of Medicine. Dr. Lovejoy then completed both a surgery residency at Tufts Medical Center in Boston and a second residency in orthopaedics at the Harvard Orthopaedic Combined Residency Program. An avid reader and skilled writer, he wrote an award-winning article about the development of hospitals in 19th-century America.

Dr. Lovejoy was a founding partner of an orthopaedics practice in the Boston area, worked at a hospital as a fracture 85%patient outcomes surgeon, served as a clinical instructor in orthopaedics at Harvard Medical School, established and volunteered at an amputation clinic, and even made house calls. A devoted father of three daughters and two sons, he was deeply involved with his community, including serving as the chairman of the Board of Selectmen in Bethlehem, New Hampshire.

Dr. Lovejoy and his youngest daughter served in a clinic in Senegal, fulfilling his longtime desire to share his skills and knowledge with colleagues abroad. Following his unexpected death in 2013, his family decided to celebrate his life and his dream by sharing his excitement about practicing and teaching medicine in resource-challenged countries through a special fund at Health Volunteers Overseas. 80%patient safety 11 TRANSFORMING LIVES

The David B. Lovejoy Memorial Fund was established in 2013 to give orthopaedic residents hands-on experience at HVO overseas project sites. To date, 19 residents have benefited from the opportunity, including four in 2019. Placed in areas of the world with scarce resources, the HVO physicians share their knowledge of disease and trauma conditions with local medical counterparts, simultaneously improving their skills as they learn from local colleagues. The residents return home not only with a deeper understanding of life and orthopaedics in resource-challenged countries, but also with a more expansive medical skill set and techniques that will serve them well in their careers.

HVO is grateful to Dr. Lovejoy and his family for their commitment to advancing global health by educating the physicians of the future.

“I have had various global health experiences throughout my medical training so far, and this has been one of the most rewarding. I think HVO’s emphasis on education and training of local providers is a very impactful model for global health and something I will look for and encourage in any future global health work I do. This experience broadened my perspective on some of the challenges of working in a resource-scarce environment, which I think is a valuable perspective to have both for any future global health experiences and in treating some of the patients I see at home.” — Dr. Melissa Esparza, 2019 Lovejoy Fellow, Uganda
