(15th December 03- 12th January 04) , they  approach health authorities and were privileged  to work as partners for a health project in Iraq. They  met the Health Minister, universities presidents , and other officials who adopted the new program for the Continuous Medical Education (CME) to Health Professionals in Iraq. This was a great achievement to Iraqi doctors, especially 
the funding of the program will be from international organisations and private sources and not 
from the Iraq budget.  Doctorinternet received the backing and support from the UN_ ESCWA foundation, task force for Iraq, and approved the CME program as submitted. ESCWA forwarded the program to the donor community for funding purposes.
