From Luis Falcón:
Dear GNU Health and Free Software community : 
Mr. Armand Mpassy-Nzoumbato has written this letter to the GNU Health community, that I proudly want share with all of you. It shows the importance of Free Software in real-life scenarios, delivering our motto : Freedom and Equity in Healthcare (original source)
 Gabon training
Dear Luis, Dear Axel,

First of all happy new year and congratulations to Luis and off course all others for the great work that is being accomplished. I just know a few of you guys (Luis, Selene, Cedric, Nicolas, Axel) and I just joined this community about a year ago. However, I can tell you that it is having a huge impact on the health of communities in central Africa and very soon in West Africa as well.

I implemented the lab module of GNU Health at the Medical Research Center in Franceville (Gabon). They do medical lab analyses for the population of Franceville. It has changed the face public health in this small city. People used to wait a few days before getting their lab results. Now they get their results just after a few hours. And I can tell you it can make a difference between staying alive or dying because the doctor will not be able to make a correct assessment of the medical status of the patient on time.

A number of other health institutions are very much interested in implementing GNU Health and I’ll make sure that each and every health professional has heard about GNU Health. I am working on a strategy that will ensure that a huge number of them can test the system using the Demo version on DVD. It is indeed very difficult to access the demo version online.

On behalf of all those who you are serving: the communities of Africa and of the world, the voiceless people, and who don’t even know that you exist, I say:

Thank you, Muchas Gracias

Kind regards,

Armand

Since GNU Health 3.0, the main translation portal is at GNU Pootle server [2]

* Arabic

Some of them are still in the process of migrating the translation files from Transifex to the GNU Pootle server. It will take a bit until everything is in place. Of course, you can update your server translation packs at anytime,  using the getlang command of gnuhealth-control program.

There is a new mailing list (health-i18n) dedicated to the localization and translation of GNU Health[3]

During the upcoming weeks we’ll be updating the documentation, improving the demo database, as well as working on the translations.

Of course, we’ll be fixing any bugs you will find in this new release 🙂

Many, many thanks to all of you who have contributed to this release, in any way!

All the best,

With the purpose to optimize primary care, as well as avoiding paperworks and delays, the Ministry of Health through the Health Services of Morelos (SSM) will implement GNU Health, a free software Health and Hospital Information System, adopted by the University of United Nations and the Ministries of Health of other countries. By 2018 this software will be able to make all the medical records of 7 General Hospitals, 3 Community Hospitals and 204 Health Centers fully electronic (EMR) in order to satisfy the functionality of the medical history, hospital management and Health Information System (HIS).

This project will allow a better coordination between first and second level of health care, becauseit will be able to schedule appointments and get labs results with no need to attend the units, always guaranteeing the confidentiality of patients’ data. Given this new technology and with the goal to make the system more efficient, the Informatics Team of SSM will be trained by Luis Falcón, MD and Computer Scientis, creator of the system ­ GNU Health.

Mr. Armand Mpassy-Nzoumba, GNU Solidario representative in Africa, provided a GNU Health Training at the Centre of Medical Research of Franceville (Gabon).

These are some words from Mr. Armand Mpassy-Nzoumba about this great project:

” During the Training of GNU Health we implemented the lab modules of GNU Health. It was done in replacement of of similar software which did no longer met user requirements. The lab team, of about 15 members, was trained. After implementation we noticed a number of improvements including:

  • Improved quality of medical lab analyses
  • improved process time. It took 3 to 5 days to deliver results. Now results can be delivers the same day
  • A full patient database.
  • Improved reliability of the software. The previous one did have a number of bigs and required a lot of maintenance
  • Improved return on investment thanks to free and open source software … “
