Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health care of developing countries through the training and education of local health care providers.〔(Catalog for Philanthropy ). Retrieved on May 6, 2008〕 ==History== The idea for the organization was sparked by an article by Dr. Ralph Crawshaw, published in the December 1984 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. In the article,〔(A Doctor-to-Doctor International Medical Education Exchange ) JAMA. 1984;252(22):3170-3171. 〕 Dr. Crawshaw urged fellow medical practitioners to "make a substantial difference to your colleagues in developing countries" and cited the example of Orthopaedics Overseas. In 1986, the Orthopaedics Overseas Board of Directors voted to become the first division of the newly created Health Volunteers Overseas. Two anesthesiologists went to Ethiopia for the first HVO volunteer trip later that year. On August 1, 2011 HVO celebrated its 25th anniversary. Since opening its doors in Washington, D.C. in 1986, HVO has sent more than 4,372 HVO volunteers to complete more than 7,947 assignments overseas in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and Oceania.〔(The Volunteer Connection 25th Anniversary Insert )〕 Volunteers are drawn from the fields of anesthesia, dermatology, hematology, internal medicine, nursing education, oncology, oral health, orthopaedics, pediatrics, physical therapy, wound and lymphedemia management, emergency medicine, mental health, and pharmacology.
