 With the breakup of the former U.S.S.R., it became clear that there were many opportunities to assist the newly independent republics. In 1991 a group of physicians and other health care professionals in the Atlanta area began to explore how to assist with the particular health care needs of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, home to 4.6 million people in a country the size of Nebraska.

 In 1992 CAP sent a health care team led by Dr. Lee Jacobs to Kyrgyzstan's capital city of Bishkek to conduct a preliminary survey of the country's health care needs. Kyrgyzstan was left with a serious crisis, needing to rebuild their health care system. An agreement was offered by the Minister of Health and the first CAP volunteers began to serve.
