Brazil's IPPNW Student chapter has active participants in Target X and NWIP. Recently, a Latin American summit was held on the Medical Impacts of War. The IPPNW-Brazil chapter is located at Marília Medical College (Faculdade de Medicina de Marília, or FAMEMA for short!).

Things we do in Brazil

• Arrange and hold informal meetings for medical students on issues within the agenda of IPPNW.
• We are actively involved in the IPPNW-student projects NWIP and ReCap.

Canadian students have been very active in the past, organizing a wonderful conference in Vancouver, which Alex Rosen attended, working together with the NWIP, seeking contact with their US colleagues and running an installation of Target X in Vancouver on Hiroshima Day. Topics of interest to Canadian students are, amongst other things, the growing power of the pharmaceutical companies and the war in Iraq. Contact between physicians and students is excellent and the effect is growing membership and increased activity. Bringing students to Board meetings and introducing them to the International IPPNW early on has proven to be a successful way of fostering interest and ensuring continuity and should be taken up by other affiliates in due course.

IPPNW-Students El Salvador has been a very active chapter, especially on the issue of small arms violence. To the left you will find several links to reports, sites and photo pages where you can learn more about this vibrant chapter.

The French students have visited both the St. Petersburg and Helsinki IPPNW conferences. They are currently participating in NWIP, the nuclear weapons inheritance project, and Target X.  The French homepage may be reached here.
