The Office of International Health Relations was established in 1943 under the authority of the Public Health Service Act of July 1, 1944. It was organized by its first director, Dr. James A. Doull, primarily to administer the overseas projects of the Service such as the Mission to Liberia and a growing fellowship training program. In 1948, Senior Surgeon Hildrus A. Poindexter (1901-1987) was appointed director of the Mission to Liberia, whose goal was to help the Liberian government in sanitation planning and the control of infectious diseases. Dr. Poindexter is pictured here on safari during a tsetse fly survey.
