LMHI establishes permanent Secretariat in Germany

 April 3, 2009 

At the beginning of 2009, the LMHI established a permanent secretariat in Bonn, Germany. The office will be run in cooperation with the German homeopathic association DZVHÄ (Deutscher Zentralverein homöopathischer Ärzte).

On April 3, LMHI President Ulrich D. Fischer celebrated the new location in a joint opening ceremony with the DZVhÄ executives Curt Kösters and Conny Bajic.

Starting in April 2009, the DZVhÄ is in charge of both the LMHI’s membership administration as well as public relations, focusing on media issues and publications in particular.

At the opening ceremony on April 3, LMHI-President Dr. Ulrich D. Fischer ighlighted the new LMHI–DZVhÄ cooperation as a further step towards establishing a global network of national and international homeopathic associations as well as elevating the professionalism of the LMHI.

The newly created e-newsletter The Liga News, that we plan to publish twice a year, will be distributed not only to the LMHI members in 56 countries, but also to journalists, politicians, associations and public health authorities. All recipients are welcome to act as multipliers by sharing the information with fellow physicians, by integrating the newsletter on their own homepage or by forwarding it to a personal distribution list.

In addition, the LMHI is launching a new internet presence which will be presented in May 2009. The international website www.lmhi.net is a joint project of the LMHI, the European Committee for Homoeopathy (ECH) and the two national organizations SVHA (Swiss Association of Homeopathic Physicians) and DZVhÄ.

The DZVhÄ is one of the oldest medical associations worldwide

The German Association of Homeopathic Physicians (Deutscher Zentralverein homöopathischer Ärzte, DZVhÄ) was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in Köthen (Anhalt / Germany) in 1829. Today, it has more than 3 000 members and is the leading contact organization in Germany regarding homeopathic issues for politicians, health representatives and patients.
