El Hospital Académico Paramaribo es el hospital mas grande y moderno del Suriname.
El AZP fue fundado el 9 de marzo del 966 como un hospital central, transformándose en Hospital Académico Paramaribo en 1969, ganando así su estatus de Universidad.
La plantilla actual consta de cerca de 1700 trabajadores y el Hospital tiene una capacidad de 470 camas.
Cada año se hospitalizan unos 20.000 pacientes, mientras unos 176.000 pacientes ambulatoriales visitan el hospital.
Agradecemos el compromiso de AZP con Medical y el apoyo a nuestra organización: GNU Solidario
Estamos trabajando con AZP para proveer inicialmente una funcionalidad específica en la atención pediátrica y cardiológica. Este es un claro ejemplo de como los grandes hospitales pueden colaborar con el Software Libre, para que el resto del mundo se beneficie también.

El Hospital R.S. Griya Husada Madiun Hospital, en Madiun City (En la Provincia East Java Indonesia) es el ultimo hospital en Indonesia que ha empezado a utilizar Medical .
Es el tercer hospital en Indonesia que instala Medical este año.
Nos alegra mucho ver como varios centros de salud alrededor del mundo están utilizando el Software Libre para el beneficio de sus habitantes.
Queremos agradecerle a Riza Kurniawan, que es parte del equipo de Medical en Indonesia. Se ha encargado de la implementación en este hospital y ha realizado la traducción al Bahasa Indonesia.

The following is the complete / uncut transcript of the interview I got from Nicoleta Gherlea in 2010 when I was named top OpenERP contributor.
*Age:* 40
*Located in:* Argentina and Spain
*Occupation:* Founder of Thymbra and GNU Solidario
*Blog:* http://meanmicio.blogspot.com
*Tweett: *@meanmicio
Tell us about about yourself :
How would you describe yourself:
Social activist. I love working on the field, learning from people in
hospitals and rural areas, combining medicine and computer science (in that
order).
I like simplicity and try to stay away from any kind of _sophistication_
(food, clothes, programs, people,….).
Who or what in your life would you say influenced you most?
My parents.
What is the best birthday present you could receive?
Hope and dignity for the children in developing countries.
What do you do in your spare time?
Enjoy family.
What is your favourite place in the world?
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Tell us about about You and OpenERP
When did you start working on OpenERP?
Long time ago. In 2005 (TinyERP at that time).
What got you excited about OpenERP?
Free Software. Versatile. Small
Can you tell us more about your key contributions?
–
Medical : The Free Health and Hospital Information System. Large project
running today on different health centres around the world (
http://medical.sf.net)
–
Started the Argentinian and Spanish localization, including electronic
invoicing
–
Created in 2007 the OpenERP Academy in LatinAmerica, bringing OpenERP to
the Spanish speaking community.
What attracts you to Open Source?
I like more the Free Software concept.
Free software is about sharing and building communities. It a great tool for
the development of societies.
Wrote my first GPL program in 1995 (netload). It’s still being shipped on
most GNU/Linux distros.
What is your most embarrassing OpenERP moment?
I will tell you as soon as it happens 😉
Any personal message to other members of the community ?
I’m worried about how _the industry_ is getting into the Free Software. At
the end of the day, is your actions what count, not the tools you use.
If OpenERP was …what would it be :
An animal : A goat. Cabra loca 🙂 A colour : Blue
A famous character : Monty Python rabbit.
A Dish : Potaje de lentejas
A Song : Libertango
——-
Update: The interview was removed from the site when I started to criticize the lack of freedom and democracy on the OpenERP (Odoo) project.
The OpenERP project was rebranded as Odoo
The Medical project was continued as GNU Health

Medical, the free Hospital and Health Information System was installed in Dr. Oñativias primary care health center.
Doctor Oñativia’s Health Regional Center
The health center, located in the community of Corrales, Paraná, in Entre Rios, Argentina, provides primary and emergency care to a population over 20000 habitants.
The health center has an ER and a 24-hour ambulance service. It provides care in clinical medicine, cardiology, gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics, kinesiology, dentistry and ophthalmology. It also has a pharmacy, a lab, ultrasound specialists and nutritionists. There is also a Social Area with psychologists, educational psychologists and social workers.
The Medical Implementation Project
The project consists of the following stages :
* The installation of Health Center Information System
* Training of the health center staff,
* Design and implementation of the hardware and network infrastructure
For the first installation of Medical, the center hired a software development provider, which proposed the health management software MEDICAL. The system (Medical) is free software, so the Health Center doesn’t have any costs for patents or licenses .
The solution created for the Center manages :
* Adults and pediatric patients database (Plan Nacer, Nation Ministry of Health)
* Outpatient medical appointments and other Center’s professional services ,
* Patient’s social environment, health care, personal data,
* Patient’s clinical record, based on evaluations and diagnoses,
* Epidemiology reports.
Congratulations to Mario Puntin and to the Dr. Oñativia’s Center team, who work daily to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants !
