When we help an infant or child, it’s a wonderful demonstration for a family of what international cooperation can do. It’s very powerful.

— Dr. Arnold M. Noyek

OUR VISION

A world where individuals and societies work together to achieve improved quality of life and health for all. 

OUR MISSION

To promote international cooperation and mutual development, especially in regions experiencing conflict and disparities. We accomplish this through joint activities and programs that advance health education, health care, public health, health systems, scientific exchange and research. Our model is based on the Health as a Bridge to Peace concept adopted by the World Health Organization.

CISEPO specializes in knowledge transfer and incorporates the principles of gender equity, human rights equity, and environmental equity in all programming. We offer professional development in healthcare through accredited CPD, fellowships, mentorship opportunities, and grassroots programming.

We are very much committed to supporting the Canadian Development efforts in Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health that are aligned with the Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

OUR VALUES

The CISEPO partners share a commitment to:

Equity and Non-Discrimination

Participation and Inclusion

Accountability and Transparency

Professional  Dialogue and Engagement

CISEPO is non-political. We provide a forum for international cooperation based on common values and ethics.

CISEPO takes a strong stance against hate. We refuse the drumbeats of division, revisionism, and misinformation. On Holocaust Remembrance Day we remember the 6 million jewish souls murdered and others subject to genocide and persecution and resolve to never again let it happen to anyone anywhere, and recommit to doing the work to ensure that it doesn’t. Hatred and intolerence are global health issues. ...

CISEPO hosted an intimate gathering this past week in Tel Aviv Yafo with IPEME (International Pediatric Emergency Medical Elective) alumni. Special guest Professor Leonard J. Marcus, Co-Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University, joined us. Professor Lenny gave a talk titled “Meta-Leadership: The Ingenuity of Swarm Leadership.” It was the perfect chance to kickstart our alumni programming for 2023.

As Arnie would say, “Always moving forward!”

Happy Juneteenth! Canada has just as much a reason to celebrate Juneteenth as our American friends, even though our national historical narrative diverged. We have emancipation day on August 1st that celebrates the day in 1834 that the British abolished slavery but juneteenth is a completely different holiday and we have a role in doing more to ensure that Black lives matter does not end with a slogan or a moment of popular attention. ...
