Catholic healthcare institutions can be found on every continent, and this international association can establish a sense of solidarity between the various national Catholic health associations as well as with the Holy See. Currently the board is composed of the director, Rev. Fra Pierluigi Marchesi, CH, and the continental delegates representing Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Oceania.
Place is the continental delegate representing North America.
Planning is under way for the 2001 Congress, to be held in Rome, which will focus on improving the knowledge and exchanges between Catholic institutions.
