PRIDOc 2008

‘Ahahui o na Kauka is proud to host the Pacific Region Indigenous Doctors’ Congress 2008 — PRIDoC 2008

Ho‘omau, To Persevere

Aloha mai kākou, Welcome to PRIDoC 2008, the fourth gathering of the Pacific Region Indigenous Doctors Congress.

The conference theme, Ho'omau, to Persevere, urges us to carry on the healing of our people throughout the Pacific. We welcome all to share the original PRIDoC vision: Pacific Doctors for Pacific Peoples for Pacific Health. Past congresses have enabled us to share our successes and best practices, while learning more about one another’s cultures.

PRIDoC 2008 will feature medical education and research workshops on the 11-12 June, followed by plenary and breakout sessions on topics related to indigenous health during the main conference from 13-15 June.

Kaua‘i awaits—e komo mai kākou,
