Por Sebastián Marró:
El lunes pasado regresé de Perú, donde fuimos invitados por EsSalud (Dr. Alvaro Vidal Rivadeneyra – Presidente Ejecutivo) en conjunto con la Oficina Nacional de Gobierno Electrónico e Informática (ONGEI) para presentar GNU Health, el sistema Libre de Gestión Hospitalaria y de Salud, en el marco del Encuentro Internacional “Tecnologías de Información, como Herramienta en la Salud e Inclusión Social 2012” realizado en las instalaciones del Instituto Nacional del Corazón (INCOR), en Lima.
  
El Seguro Social de Salud o EsSalud es la institución peruana de la seguridad social en salud. Cuenta con hospitales generales, policlínicos y establecimientos especializados de salud, así como Centros del Adulto Mayor y Centros Especializados de Rehabilitación Profesional. 
Fueron un total de cuatro los días que pasé en Lima. El día jueves fue la inauguración del Evento. Por la mañana se habló de la problemática actual que está sufriendo la institución EsSalud en materia de soluciones TI, mientras que por la tarde tuve la oportunidad de ver presentaciones de casos exitosos en el ámbito internacional entre las cuales quiero destacar la presentación del software para laboratorios Bika Health, a cargo de Johannes Nicolaas Smit (Lemoene) de Sudáfrica y el Dr. Christoph Heinrich Larsen de Vietnam y la presentación de InVesalius, software para la reconstrucción de estructuras del cuerpo humano, a cargo de Jorge da Silva de Brasil.
 
 
El día viernes tuve la oportunidad de dar la primer exposición sobre GNU Health para personal de EsSalud: Alta Dirección, gerentes, jefes de las Oficinas Centrales, personal de Salud e Informática, así como los responsables del conjunto de las redes asistenciales. Como invitados también se encontraban funcionarios del MINSA, SUNASA, MEF, SUNAT, centros asistenciales de la policía y fuerzas armadas, hospitales de la solidaridad.
 
 
Por la tarde nos dividimos en grupos de trabajo donde pudimos entrar en contacto directo con la problemática de EsSalud y contestar diversas inquietudes que los profesionales de la salud e informática nos fueron presentando.

El sábado al medio día pude dar la segunda exposición sobre GNU Health, en este caso el evento estaba abierto al público en general, donde puede explicar las bondades de tener la libertad de usar y parametrizar GNU Health con el fin de adecuarlo a sus necesidades. Tuve el agrado de conocer a Jefes Informáticos de las distintas redes asistenciales del Perú, con los que pude profundizar en algunos aspectos de GNU Health y con los que espero poder continuar en contacto
 
El día domingo pude aprovechar para pasear y conocer la bonita ciudad de Lima junto con el Dr. Christoph Larsen y Lemoene.
 
 
Agradezco en nombre de GNU Solidario a las autoridades de EsSalud por su invitación y hospitalidad, a Alfonso de la Guarda por gestionar nuestra participación en este evento y a Cecilia Contreras por su ayuda con todos los temas logísticos y hacerme sentir tan bien!

GNU Solidario is happy to announce the release of the new stable version of GNU Health 1.4.5


This version has major improvements in patient evaluation and history taking  process, as well as the reporting.  The genetics, lifestyle views have also been updated, among others improvements and bug fixes.

We have also incorporated the initial version of the MDG # 6 module (Millennium Development Goal), to fight against malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. I have started with the TB functionality, with the Lab functionality. If you’re interested in working on this module, please
send us a mail to health@gnu.org

The next version (1.6.0) will be under Tryton 2.4 , and we’re already adapting it. As you know, GNU Health or Tryton comes with the update path, so the health center does not have to worry about migrations !

Please, as usual, test it and report bugs and suggestions in the Savannah !

Just got back to Buenos Aires after a 10 days in the United States and El Salvador, and finally got some time to write about the award, what it means to GNU Solidario and to the community at large.
The FSF’s ceremony took place at the University of Massachusetts, Boston (UMass) on Sunday March 25th, during the LibrePlanet 2012 conference. On the ceremony, there were two awards :
  • Award for the Advancement of Free Software:Yukihiro Matsumoto, creator of the Ruby Programming Language. Congratulations Matz !
  • Award for the Project of Social Benefit : GNU Health
Richard Stallman and Luis Falcon
As stated by the FSF, the Award for Projects of Social Benefit is presented to the project or team responsible for applying free software, or the ideas of the free software movement, in a project that intentionally and significantly benefits society in other aspects of life. This award stresses the use of free software in the service of humanity.

GNU Health won award for Project of Social Benefit 2011
I want to thank the committee for choosing GNU Health : Suresh Ramasubramanian, Peter H. Salus, Wietse Venema, Raj Mathur, Hong Feng, Andrew Tridgell, Jonas Oberg, Vernor Vinge, Richard Stallman, Fernanda G. Weiden, Harald Welte, and Rob Savoyes.

We take this award with great pride, but also with great responsibility. We share this award with novel previous winners  Wikipedia, Creative Commons, Internet Archives, Groklaw, Tor and Sahana Disaster Management System .

I see Free Software as social activism. GNU Health goal is to improve the lives of the underprivileged by means of Free Software.  We deliver a Free Health and Hospital Information System to health centers all around the world. Because is Free (Freedom), the software belongs to them. They can modify it, improve it, and localize it to their needs ! This is the Free Software philosophy.

GNU Health provides the basis for sustainable and universal medicine, no matter the economical status of the health center or the patient. After all, Health is a non-negotiable human right and never should belong to the greedy corporations. Health is a public good, and so it should be health informatics.

Yukihiro Matsumoto “Matz” and Luis Falcon

I want to thank the Free Software Foundation and his creator, Richard Stallman, for creating the environment for social justice and equity. 
Thank you to the Free Software community : Python, Postgresql, Tryton, GNU/Linux, GnuPG and Wikimedia foundation are just some of the building blocks for GNU Health. Without a free software community, GNU Health wouldn’t exist.
Thank you to the governments adopting Free Software as a Public good.
Thank you to the community, to all of you who contribute your time and talent to improve GNU Health !
Finally, I want to dedicate this award to the men and women who anonymously give their lives to help the underprivileged. You are an example for all of us !
