His travels took him to the former Soviet Union, Macedonia, northern Iraq, Bosnia, Tanzania, Zaire and China. This fund was established in 1998 to enable medical professionals to continue Dr. Josephson's humanitarian works. The fund's mission statement is as follows: Established to honor Benjamin H.
