Our Founders

Founded by the late Professor Charles Boucher and Alice Posthumus-Plantinga in 1998, the journey began with a pioneering HIV and resistance course that underscored the crucial need for knowledge exchange among healthcare professionals.

This insight laid the foundation for our current comprehensive portfolio of yearly programs across the globe.
