Caring\u00a0Physicians\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0World\u00a0Initiative\u00a0
\nThe WMA Caring Physicians of the World Initiative
\nYank D. Coble, MD, Chair, WMA Caring Physicians of the World Initiative
\nOtmar Kloiber, MD, Secretary General, World Medical Association
\n\u201cThe most important thing is caring, so do it first,
\nfor the caring Physician best inspires hope and trust.\u201d
\nSir William Osler
\nCaring, Ethics and Science are the three fundamental and enduring traditions which unite
\nmedical professionals and their patients around the world. Because of these universal
\ntraditions, we find global similarity in physicians\u2019 and patients’ desires and concerns, despite
\nthe enormously disparate environments and circumstances in which physicians care for
\npatients.
\nThe Caring Physicians of the World Initiative (CPWI) was designed to restore
\nenthusiasm and optimism in medicine, through medical and social leadership based on the
\nenduring traditions of the medical profession: Caring, Ethics and Science. The initiative
\nwas conceived in Helsinki, Finland at the 2003 Annual Meeting of the World Medical
\nAssociation.
\nThe World Medical Association (WMA) represents physicians around the world, and provides
\na global forum for physicians to communicate, to cooperate and to promote high standards
\nand professionalism. The WMA is a federation of National Medical Associations (NMAs)
\nrepresenting over eight million physicians in more than 90 countries around the world. It
\nwas founded in 1947 with the mission to \u201cserve humanity by endeavoring to achieve the
\nhighest international standards in medical education, medical science, medical care, and
\nmedical ethics, and health care for all the people of the world\u201d. This unique partnership of
\nphysicians enhances the health and quality of life for people all over the world.
\nAs part of its work to achieve high standards in medicine, the WMA conducted a survey of
\nphysicians in over 40 countries around the globe in 2003. Survey results revealed
\nphysicians\u2019 concerns about access to quality safe medical care, appropriate professional
\nautonomy to provide that care, and adequate resources and facilities to deliver care.
\nPhysicians were also seriously concerned about the regulatory, legal, political, and other
\nbarriers to providing care, as well as governmental attitudes regarding medical care as an
\nexpense, rather than an investment with positive return. To a large degree, physicians
\naround the globe felt marginalized, threatened, and demeaned. They requested the WMA
\nprovide increased information on health systems and greater exchange of experience
\nbetween physicians throughout the world. The physicians requested vigorous
\ncommunication of the values of the medical and health professions and the well documented
\nvalue in relieving distress, despair, disease, disability, and premature death, and the
\nextraordinary return on investment in medical care and public health. Physicians also felt
\nthey needed to enhance their own knowledge and skills in leadership and advocacy for
\npatients, public health, and the medical profession.

\nThe WMA resolved to address these global concerns in 2004, and formed a partnership with
\nan experienced sponsor, Pfizer, Inc. They developed the Caring Physicians of the World
\nInitiative (CPWI), chaired by WMA President-elect Yank D. Coble, MD. Through this
\ninitiative, the WMA would unite NMAs around the world, implementing a multipart program
\nto address the identified global concerns of physicians.
\nPhase I of the CPW Initiative: Connecting
\nThe goal of Phase 1 was to connect with NMAs around the world, enhancing global
\ncommunication. The WMA reached out to NMAs and regional associations such as MASEAN
\nand CONFEMEL, building relationships and increasing participation and leadership in the
\nWorld Health Organization (WHO) and World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA). WMA
\nofficers visited Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North America, as well as
\nmaking multiple visits to India and China. These outreach visits by WMA officers enabled
\nthem to learn more directly about circumstances, needs, and desires, and to obtain support
\nand increase advocacy for the values of the medical profession.
\nPhase II of the CPW Initiative: Inspiring
\nThe goal of Phase II was to inspire, building enthusiasm and optimism for the medical
\nprofession, by showcasing exemplary physicians from around the world in a compilation of
\n\u201cCaring Physicians of the World.\u201d This publication showcased 65 physicians from 58
\ncountries: heroes and social leaders, who were nominated by their NMAs as exemplifying
\nthe enduring traditions of caring, ethics, and science.
\nPlans for the book were announced at the WMA Annual Meeting in Tokyo, 2004. NMAs
\nnominated over 200 physicians; 65 physicians were interviewed, photographed on site, and
\nmemorialized in the publication. The book was presented at the 2005 WMA Annual Meeting
\nin Santiago, Chile and the regional conference of CONFEMEL.
\nSubsequently, the message of the Caring Physicians of the World was
\ncommunicated to NMAs, medical schools and specialty societies,
\ngovernment, media, businesses, philanthropies, and multiple other public
\nand private associations and organizations around the world. In May
\n2006 the Caring Physicians of the World Book and Initiative were featured
\nat a luncheon reception of over 200 Ministers of Health and other health
\nand medical leaders following the opening sessions of the World Health
\nAssembly. The preface, describing the relevance, importance and power
\nof caring, ethics and science.
\nPhase III of the CPW Initiative: Collaborating
\nThe goal of Phase III was to enhance collaboration, forming regional partnerships in areas
\naround the world, to enhance communication, collegiality, and advocacy for patients, public
\nhealth, and the medical profession. With WMA officers\u2019 participation, and the Pfizer
\npartnership and support, Dr. Otmar Kloiber, Secretary General of the WMA and host NMAs
\norganized highly successful regional meetings in Johannesburg, Prague, Santiago, Tokyo,
\nBangkok, Shanghai, and Amelia Island, Florida. These regional meetings focused on
\neffective ways to address the primary issues for patients, physicians, and public health.
\nDuring these meetings it emerged that there was a growing desire for improving physicians\u2019
\nadvocacy and leadership skills.

\nPhase IV of the CPW Initiative: Developing
\nThe goal of Phase IV was to address this emergent need for development of physicians\u2019
\nadvocacy and leadership skills. Throughout 2006 and 2007 the WMA, in collaboration with
\nINSEAD and again with the partnership of Pfizer, Inc., developed the WMA\/CPW
\nLeadership Course. The program was designed to develop the skills and knowledge
\nneeded for medical and social leadership, enhancing the abilities of medical professionals to
\nadvocate more effectively for medical care, education, research, ethics, and the medical
\nprofession.
\nThe inaugural course was held on December 2-9, 2007, at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France.
\nThirty three colleagues, selected by their NMAs in 22 countries, participated in the course.
\nProgram modules focused on developing physicians\u2019 leadership and advocacy skills,
\nenhancing their abilities to advocate more effectively for medical care, education, research,
\nethics, and the medical profession. The program included modules on the Value of Medical
\nDiplomacy and Traditions, Global Healthcare Systems, Physicians Perceptions of the
\nProfession, Individual Judgment and Group Decision Making, Conducting Business Across
\nCultures, Effective Leadership Styles, the Art and Practice of Lobbying (Advocacy), Defining
\nand Achieving Negotiation Success, Multiparty Negotiations, Coalition Building, Improving
\nCross Cultural and Virtual Communication, Navigating the Media Environment and Media
\nTraining.
\nFeedback from program participants was extremely positive, and participants reported an
\nincrease in communication between program \u201calumni\u201d. Due to the success of this initial
\nleadership and advocacy development program, a second WMA\/CPW Leadership Course was
\nscheduled to take place in Dec. 2008.
\nThe 2008 WMA\/CPW Leadership Course was held at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, on Dec. 1-6,
\n2008. This course provided leadership training for 32 physicians from 20 countries. The six-
\nday intensive curriculum focused on proficiency in decision-making, participation in public
\ndebate and preparation to serve as spokespersons on key health care policy issues. The
\nprogram included modules on the Healthcare and Organized Medicine, Economics of
\nHealthcare, Physician Perception Research, Effective Physician Advocacy, Conducting
\nBusiness Across Cultures, Navigating the Media Environment, the Art and Practice of
\nEffective Advocacy, Multiparty Negotiations, Coalition Building, Individual Judgment and
\nGroup Decision Making, Effective Leadership Styles, as well as extensive practice in Media
\nTraining.
\nDue to the success of these first courses and the global mission of the course, an annual
\nprogram has been instituted. The third WMA\/CPW Leadership Course is scheduled to take
\nplace at INSEAD Singapore, Feb. 8-13, 2010.

\nWMA\/CPW Leadership Course 2007
\nPhase V of the CPW Initiative: Applying and Achieving
\nPhase V is an enduring phase in which WMA will explore application of the CPW principles
\nand achievement of the CPWI goals. One of the first examples of CPWI Application can
\nbe found in Indonesia.
\nTwo Indonesian Medical Association (IMA) leaders, Dr. Fachmi Idris and Dr. Taufik Jaaman,
\nwere participants in the December 2007 WMA\/CPW Leadership Course. They proposed an
\nIndonesian Caring Physicians Initiative for their IMA Centennial Annual meeting in May
\n2008. They began planning, and by early 2008 had the support of the President of the
\nIndonesian Republic, collaboration of the Minister of Health, and additional support.
\nThe IMA created a video documentary of 100 years of Indonesian history, and a new book,
\nIndonesian Caring Physicians, edited by Dr. Taufik Jaaman. This book profiles 112
\nIndonesian physicians, nominated as heroes and social leaders, exemplifying the enduring
\nmedical traditions of caring, ethics, and science. The publication
\nincludes messages from the Indonesian President, and the Minister of
\nHealth, and the WMA. Both books, the Caring Physicians of the World
\nand the Indonesian Caring Physicians, were presented to the
\nIndonesian President and Minister of Health at the IMA Centennial
\nAnniversary at a large event held at the President\u2019s Palace, May 28,
\n2008, and to the faculty and students of the Indonesian University
\nSchool of Medicine by IMA and WMA officers with presentation
\naddresses. The opening of the IMA Centennial Meeting and exposition
\nfeatured the ICP book, video, and initiative.
\nThe WMA is proud of the growth and achievements of the CPW Initiative. However much
\nremains to be accomplished in, by and for the medical profession. Global threats of
\ncommunicable and non-communicable disease persist, despite unparalleled progress in

\nbiomedical science, public health and medical care. Barriers to care flourish, created by
\nineffective, inefficient, and sometimes even corrupt governments. The public is confused by
\nterms such as providers instead of professionals, customers instead of patients, health care
\ninstead of medical care, and the pollution of scientific information by media, and distortion
\nby legal and regulatory systems. They are understandably distrustful. However there is
\ngood reason to be optimistic, because of the justifiable enthusiasm physicians have for the
\nvalue and values of their profession, and the ability to be useful. The CPW Initiative has
\nhelped to clarify the assertion of physicians around the world that effective leadership, hard
\nwork, a clear definition of responsibilities and rights as a profession, and a mission beyond
\nself, will result in significant and measurable success.
\n\u2022 The CPWI has a focus on Patients: working to inspire hope and trust, as well as to
\nreduce disease, despair, disability and premature death.
\n\u2022 The CPWI has a focus on Rights: promoting the right of all patients to choose
\nphysicians providing care based on a singular ethical commitment to them, using the
\nbest available science, in a caring manner. To provide this level of care, physicians
\nrequire the right to appropriate autonomy, self regulation and advocacy for patient
\nhealth.
\n\u2022 The CPWI has a focus on Responsibility: endorsing ethical and science-based
\ncare, and social leadership in advocacy for patient care and public health.
\n\u2022 Finally, the CPWI has a focus on the Value of Medicine: both economic and
\nhumanitarian. The Economic Value represents the positive financial return of
\ninvestment in medical care and biomedical research. The Humanitarian Value
\nrepresents the immeasurable worth of reducing disease, despair, disability and
\npremature death.
\nThe goal of the CPWI is to restore enthusiasm and optimism in the field of
\nmedicine, through medical and social leadership based on the enduring traditions
\nof the medical profession: Caring, Ethics and Science. The CPW Initiative exemplifies
\nthe triad of medical traditions, Caring, Ethics and Science, emphasizing that caring
\nphysicians of the world are committed to and effective at medical and social leadership. The
\nCPWI mission is to help physicians throughout the world, despite the diversity and adversity
\nof circumstances, to communicate Caring and compassion, with the best Science and
\nhighest Ethics, in every professional interaction.
