(UPCH)
Currently there are 28
Schools of Medicine in Peru; 8 of them located in Lima. Some of the new Schools
are “for profit” and marketing strategies of this new schools base their
prestige as having Graduates of the UPCH as professors.
UPCH Mission statement is
unchanged for the last 46 years.
The UPCH has developed a
“Strategic Plan” for 2005-2009 to promote “Globalization of the University”.
Currently it is composed of 8 different Faculties including the School of
Medicine (since 1961), School of Science and Philosophy (1961); School of
Dentistry (1969); Education; Psychology; Nursing; Veterinary and Zoology (2000)
and Public Health and Administration. It also owns a “Pre admission center “; 48
Master Programs; 91 specialties; 4 PhD programs.
The annual number of
postulants is 2529 candidates and has 680 graduates per year. There are 9434
alumni from 1961 to 2006.
Budget for the UPCH comes
from research (30%, there is 450 research projects/year); student payments
(46%); services 15%; financiers 8.5 %.
Administrative staff is
professional and is audited externally by Price Waterhouse.
The UPCH continues to be a
“non for profit” organization that by 2007 is now 100% self sustained (compared
to 30% self sustained in 1999)
The last University Ranking
study in Peru, places UPCH as #3 in the Nation. (Access to school and academic
publications were the lower scores, research publications the highest).
UPCH has 189 national; 191
international convenes with other institutions.
A slide show of all the new
buildings, new locations (La Molina, Santa Maria, Chaclacayo, Barrios Altos,
Miraflores, San Isidro, Tumbes, etc) and new technologies were presented.
Dr Zegarra acknowledged the
Endowment’s support for the equipment of the biology, chemistry and biochemistry
labs in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The International Institute
of Quality recently internationally accredited the UPCH as the first Institute
of quality in Peru.
4) Reports:

total of $3500 US dollars from the “Porturas Fund”.
c) Seven new Computers for
the AEFMCH (medical students association).
d) Inauguration of new
laboratory of biochemistry and chemistry
e) The Faculty of Medicine

September 2007: $ 544, 545.20
They are distributed as
follows: Cash 9.42 %; fixed 62.78%; US equities 27.74%; bonds 0.06%
2007 PAE Income: Total:

Dr Sirotzky explained a
liability for $ 7000 from 2006 annual conference. It was paid by a Private
Laboratory by mistake, and Dr Sirotzky has been unable to solve the problem.
Most likely the money will be added to the PAE fund.
4.3) Fund raising report.
Dr. Antonio Belda.
Dr Belda proposed a
“virtual office” and he can donate the salary of a part time secretary for
contacting members, thank you notes; etc. He proposed sending invoices regularly
and also using credit card system for charges. He also proposed automatic
withdrawal from member’s credit cards, and hiring a professional
marketer/fundraiser.
Dr Cardenas was against a
professional marketer, because of the cost implied; but he volunteered to be a
member of the fundraising committee.
Dr Salazar suggested
publishing list of members periodically with information on who have paid or not
the annual membership; and also specifying which alumni are members or not. Dr
Belda volunteered to obtain list of alumni.
Dr Gotuzzo commented that
the alumni for the last 15 years are not as enthusiastic as the ones older than
15 years; since they have not participated on the “building’ of the UPCH and
that attitude and lack of interest should be changed.
Each class should have a
leader and also a member of the PAE should go to Peru and present to the UPCH
students the PAE’s organization and mission statement.

Presented by Dr Andres Suarez
Proposed a motion to the
following amendments:

4) Treasurer report. Andres Suarez
Dr. Sirotzky presented the report since Dr. Suarez is not present today.
Total PAE assets: $ 547,344 US dollars
Cash (3%) $ 15,479
CD’s (71%) $ 392,345
SP500 (26%) $ 141,620
The finance committee from the previous administration was terminated on
10/21/06. The philosophy of this committee was conservative: 70% on CD’s, 25-30%
on stock market and 5% cash. Now the new Treasurer Dr. Suarez has to form a new
4 member committee.
Jorge Arce proposed to have same members of the old committee to continue. Dr
Sirotzky asked the former members. Lourdes Valdez and Luis Sirotzky declined to
continue.
Dr Sirotzky asked for volunteers.
The new Finance committee by volunteer election includes: Andres Suarez
(treasurer), Luis Sanchez, Jorge Guerra and another member to be appointed by
the treasurer.
Fernando Diaz asked if the economist Mr. Ramon Rosales can be a voluntary
member of this committee, he will have no vote, but his expert opinion is
valuable to consider. Dr\Sirotzky will discuss this issue with the treasurer.
5) President report. Luis Sirotzky
Dr Sirotzky has been on this appointment for the last 2 months. He
acknowledges the collaboration and enthusiasm of several members. He hopes for
positive results during this next two years , so the PAE can contribute to the
growth and improvement of the UPCH (Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia),
Hospital and Peru.
There are several ideas, areas to cooperate, specially related to donation of
equipment.
6) Old business
a) PAE Chapters. Luis Sirotzky
Dr Sirotzky would like to improve communication between PAE and its members;
recruit new members, and improve donations.
After several discussions he believes the best way is to recruit new members
is to assign a member on each class (promocion) to be the main contact to
promote PAE ideals, collaboration and enrollment. Dr Sirotzky will look for each
of these individuals in each class. Specially classes from 1980 to 2006. He also
is willing to travel and personally visit groups of people.
Cesar Pena emphasized the need to contact Peruvian professionals in the US so
the PAE can be perpetuated. He mentioned Dr Belda would be able to help us with
this issue.
Jorge Guerra asked to clarify if any graduate from the UPCH can be member of
PAE, including different schools (dentistry, science) or post graduate
education.
Dr Sirotzky clarified that indeed, any type of graduate is welcome. Mario
Eyzaguirre will notify the secretary of 6 dentists that are now interested of
becoming members.
Benjamin Robalino mentioned that the “regional representative” should be
considered as well. For example he knows of 40 alumni from the classes of
1985-1995 in Texas. He will invite this people become members, and would like
from the Secretary to obtain the names of the current members living in Texas.
Fernando Diaz proposed to have a printed publication of PAE philosophy and
activities.
Benjamin Robalino suggested to better having a web page. Dr Sirotzky
acknowledges the existence a web site started by Roberto Miki, but it has not
been updated. He will ask to have it updated or put in charge of a different
person/group.
Mario Eyzaguirre volunteers to do a power point presentation of PAE
philosophy and achievements to be sent via e-mail to old and new members.
b) Academics Laboratories UPCH. Luis Sirotzky
Dr Sirotzky informed us that four years ago, PAE and the UPCH Rector Dr
Oswaldo Zegarra decided to improve four academic laboratories for student
training. So far two of them are appropriately equipped (Biology U$ 33,000;
Biochemistry U$ 29,000). This year 2007 is time for the Chemistry lab (budget of
30,000), and the microbiology lab will be done in 2008.
c) Fondo Porturas: interest earned 2006.
Created in 1975 by Palo Levitus to assist students economically. Over the
last 2 years has helped two students for a value of U$ 4000. Dr Sirotzky
presented that after lengthy discussion with treasurer it was decided to add 3%
interest to this “Fondo” (that is a simple average of the interest earned by
CD’s and cash). This money has to be considered “cash’ available at anytime for
an economical emergency for a student(s) in need. Another option is to change
the bylaws and specify that there will be non interest earnings for money
donated for a specific cause.
Luis Sanchez proposed this is a good deed, and should be supported and
continue to grow and earn interest. He also would like Dr Sirotzky to
investigate about the fact that already some students at the UPCH are being
expelled for not paying their tuition fees.
7) New Business
a) Other areas of aid. Department of Pediatrics Hospital Cayetano Heredia.
Dr Herminio Hernandez is the actual director of the Department of Pediatrics
in the Hospital. Dr Nelly Baiocchi is the director of the Education Department
of the UPCH in the Hospital. They both have contacted PAE and expressed the
urgent need of a pediatric fibro bronchoscope. Dr Sirotzky has found some
refurbished equipment that accommodates this need on the cost of 3000-5000 U$.
Dr Eyzaguirre, who is a neonatologist and pulmonologist, believes the price is
acceptable and moves to approve this motion. It was approved unanimously.
b) Plan to receive donations.
Dr Sirotzky has had several discussions with experienced people involved in
donations to Peru; including Dr. Miguel Pro, Dr. Abraham Vaisberg, and Mr.
Antonio Uipan from DFEI logistics.
At this time the most effective way would be to send material donations to
DFEI logistics in Miami, FL who are willing to accumulate them for free until
certain volume/ amount reached. Then Dr Sirotzky will be in charge to do the
paperwork with the Peruvian consulate so that the donated material would not
have problems reaching its destination.
The cost of the transportation of donation to Miami would be responsibility
of the donor.

2) President report.
Dr. Julio Lara-Valle presented an overview of our endowment. He expressed
the need of a social event, preferable in Florida and made some general comments
about the Peruvian American Medical Society (PAMS) and the possibility of making
our PAE a chapter of that organization while maintaining our total independence.
These two topics were part of a general discussion toward the end of the
conference. See below.
Unfinished Business
The issue was the formation of
an Advisory Board whose members would be all past presidents of the Peruvian
American Endowment. It was approved unanimously. The members of this board can
have voice in matters of the Endowment but they cannot
vote. Dr. Julio Lara-Valle and Dr. Luis Sirotzky will present to the board the
specific functions of this advisory board at the next meeting.
New Business
1) Dr. Francisco Tejada parallel account.
Dr. Julio Lara-Valle brought to the board a situation that has existed for
years. Eleven years ago it was created the “Francisco Tejada and Semiramis
Reategui” Prize of Medicine Fund as an associated entity to the PAE, Inc. Every
year Dr. and Mrs. Francisco Tejada donate $20,000.00 to the Price of Medicine
Fund. That bank account is not under control of the Peruvian American Endowment
treasurer. After the funds enter that particular account, Dr. F. Tejada
authorizes the issue of several checks to “Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia’
for the project of Thesis Prices and one check to an insurance company for the
payment of the annual premium.
Dr. Julio Lara-Valle spoke with Dr. Francisco Tejada about this issue.
Dr. F. Tejada requested from the PAE Presidency an official letter indicating
what Dr. Lara-Valle has explained about the mechanics between PAE that maintains
a code 501 (c) (3) with the I.R.S. and “The Francisco Tejada and Semiramis
Reategui” Prize of Medicine Fund.
Dr. Lara-Valle requested from the floor a motion to address this matter.
It was agreed that “Any donor organization using the PAE code for philanthropic
endeavors has to:
1) Register with PAE the basis of the philanthropic activity indicating the
recipient organization, purpose of the activity, and the amount of money
involved.
2) Any money donated for the benefit of such philanthropic activity has to enter
into the treasury of PAE.
3) PAE shall acknowledge the “donor organization” of such donation for tax
purposes.
4) PAE shall disburse the money donated to the “recipient organization”
indicating the purpose of the “donor organization”.
5) The “donor organization” has the responsibility to obtain proper
documentation from the “recipient organization” explaining the purpose of the
activity and the money received. The secretary of the PAE shall receive this
documentation in a timely manner.
Dr. Luis Sirotzky presented a motion and second by Dr. Jorge Calderon to send a
letter to Dr. Francisco Tejada letting him know about the mechanics of donations
by any “donor organization” expressed above.
This motion was approved
unanimously.
2. - Dr. Porturas Fund.
A group of alumni of our
university headed by Dr. Ricardo Lewitus wish to donate money to our endowment
for specific purposes (e.g. scholarships for UPCH good students in poor economic
situation). After a short discussion, a motion presented by Dr. Luis Sirotzky
and second by Dr. Rodolfo Chirinos stating, “To accept Dr. Ricardo Lewitus
proposal of the creation of Dr. Porturas Fund within the structure of our
endowment”. Motion was approved unanimously with the need of Dr. Lewitus to send
a letter to the PAE explaining the nature of Dr. Porturas Fund and the mechanics
for the selection of students.
Announcements
1. Dr. Alejandro Garcia has
received as donation a cardiac catheterization equipment from the Cottage
Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. Dr. Salazar from our University has
accepted the donation. To finance the cost involved in getting the full set of
cardiac catheterization Dr. Garcia is asking our Cardiologists
to donate money to our endowment for this purpose. Dr. A. Garcia will be
contacting Dr. Lara-Valle to arrange with C.H. Robinson Co. (with headquarters
in Illinois) for the transportation of the above-indicated equipment to Peru.
2. Dr. Julio Lara-Valle brought to our attention the possibility of subscribe
the PAE into the PAMS as a University Chapter maintaining our independence. The
reason for this alliance was to be exposed through channels of PAMS to all
graduates in the Directory of PAMS, where there are members of the UPCH that
still do not join the PAE. This will be another way to help in the exposure of
our projects. Dr. Lara-Valle requested from the floor a motion for this purpose.
Dr. R. Chirinos presented the motion second by Dr. Luis Espinoza, to ask members
of our directory to vote for this new relationship between those two entities.
3. Dr. Julio Lara-Valle recommended a social event in Florida during 2003. It
was suggested that Orlando could be the city for this event. Dr. Lara-Valle was
going to contact Dr. Pro and other members for ideas.
4. The next tele-conference will be held on February 16, 2003.

Queridos Hermanos Heredianos
Reciban nuestro más cordial
saludo. Comienza nuestra tarea del presente término y queremos sinceramente
seguir y si es posible mejorar la ruta de los que nos han antecedido. Nuestro
mayor deseo es que todos participemos en los programas que desarrollaremos en
favor de nuestra alma mater, y por lo tanto el aporte de sus ideas es
fundamental.
Nuestra Asociación desde su
fundación el 14 de octubre de 1989 ha reflejado nuestro compromiso como
ex-alumnos que recuerdan la casa de estudios que nos forjó y que nos dio el
común denominador de Spiritus Ubi Vult Spirat. Hagamos por lo tanto, que ese
mismo espíritu perdure a través del tiempo.
Les estamos incluyendo, las
minutas de la primera tele conferencia que se realizo el pasado 14 de Julio. En
ellas tienen un resumen de la situación económica presente del Endowment y donde
se expresa el deseo de ayudar a nuestra universidad. Recordemos, como en
nuestros tiempos, podíamos hacer uso de trabajo de laboratorio elemental con
nuestros pacientes. Hoy en día esto se ha perdido de acuerdo con la información
de nuestro Rector. Esta ayuda a implementar los laboratorios académicos de
nuestra alma mater para el trabajo diario de estudiantes y residentes, se ha
convertido en nuestro foco principal de ayuda.
Necesitamos la donación de un
mínimo de $500.00 por miembro para que esta fundación pueda cumplir con la ayuda
de la compra de equipos de laboratorio para uso académico. Se necesitan
aproximadamente $154,000.00. Obviamente dependiendo de vuestra cooperación
veremos que tanto se contribuye a esta extraordinaria gestión y cuanto de lo que
se recibe ayude al crecimiento de nuestro fondo. Como es sabida las donaciones
son totalmente deducibles de los impuestos de acuerdo a la ley. Manda tus
cheques a: Peruvian American Endowment, Inc. c/o Luis Sirotzky 459 South Country
Club Drive Atlantis, FL 33462.
Les hacemos llegar el
Directorio de Heredianos que tenemos en la actualidad. Se les ruega avisarle a
Luis Sirotzky de errores u omisiones a si mismo envíale direcciones de
heredianos que no están incluidos en este directorio.
Hermano Herediano tú tienes la
última palabra

2) President’s report
Dr. Julio Lara-Valle presented a report from his May 2002 visit to our
University. He met with our University’s Rector Dr. Oswaldo Zegarra, the Dean of
Medicine, Dr. Luis Caravedo and the Peruvian-American Endowment liaison, Dr.
Roger Guerra. The authorities from our University requested to consider help
from the Endowment in three areas: Scholarships for needed students with
excellent grades; Professors’ salaries; and Equipment for their science
laboratories for academic use.
Dr. Lara-Valle had preliminary conversations with Dr. Luis Caravedo to consider
a special Assistance Educational Mission, consisting in working along with
University Staff in all services of the Hospital Cayetano Heredia during the
month of September 2003 (Cayetano Heredia week’s celebration). CME credits could
be requested from the University of Illinois.
Unfinished Business
1) Advisory Board. Ex-presidents of the PAE will become members of
this board. Functions of the Advisory Board to be reviewed and approved during
our October meeting.
2) Request for Scholarships for Students (Request by Dr. Caravedo,
Dean of Medicine).The
current economical situation of the PAE (drop of donations in the past several
years) makes it extremely difficult to help at this time with this request. This
issue can be looked again in future meetings.
New Business
1) Funds Investments: We are in need of having members of the
directory to have active participation in decisions regarding investing the PAE
funds. Under unanimous decision were elected Dr. Jose Carlos Muniz, Dr. Jorge
Calderon and Dr. Luis Sirotzky to be part of this Investing Committee. Any
decisions will be cleared by our President.
2) “2002 Donation Campaign”: At the request of Dr. Jose Carlos Muniz and
seconded by Dr. Nora Del Busto we are going to start a donation campaign
immediately using the 120 members already in the directory plus new names added
with the help of the directors and officers of the PAE. We are going to request
that each member of the Peruvian American Endowment contribute at least $500.00
for this year. The monies received will be used: a) To provide funds to Cayetano
Heredia to help with the purchase of laboratory equipment for academic use in
Biology and Physiology; Biochemistry; Molecular Biology; Genetics; Microbiology
and Immunology (Total cost $155,000.00). Such equipment could be purchased in
Peru or USA depending on best prices; b) To provide funds for the Endowment.
This motion was approved unanimously.
Announcements
Dr Lara-Valle is planning a
trip to Peru in early August.
Our board will meet again on October 20th, 2002.
Meeting was adjourned at

PERUVIAN AMERICAN ENDOWMENT FUND
STATE OF THE FUND REPORT
November 2001
Dear Members and Friends:
The present Board of Directors presided by Dr. Dina Chung took office in October 1997. The PAE Fund at that time had $ 264,093.00 in an account with Merrill Lynch.
We wish to thank your multiple contributions, which together with the dividends and interests have made our fund grow. We have been fortunate that despite the strong fall of the Financial Markets in 2001 our fund has
only suffered minimally.

The PAE has also given to the UPCH, from directed donations and activities a total of $ 73,308.32.
We have been discussing several alternatives to protect the principal while at the same time obtain better returns with Mr. Louis Strohmeier, from EQ Financial Consultants, His advised strategy is still to be applied fully.
As you can see, we are still distant from our initial goal of $500,000. This year more than ever we are all going through difficult times.
We are again asking for your generous contribution, if your financial
situation allows it, please make it.
Finally, we would like to communicate that in the coming year we have to elect our new Officers and Directors. If you are interested please submit to Dr. Chung your candidacy or suggested candidates before December 15th, 2001.
We are planning elections for January 2002.
