argentina, Carlos Juan Finlay, Día del médico, gnu, GNU Health, GNU solidario, Unidades Domiciliarias
Un 3 de diciembre de 1833, entre la dulzura de la caña y la rebeldía del Mar Caribe, en esa pequeña isla de grandes revoluciones llamada Cuba, nacía Carlos Juan Finlay. Sobresaliente médico y científico, Finlay fue quien demostró la propagación de la fiebre amarilla a través del mosquito.
Mediante la teoría denominada “metaxénica de la transmisión de enfermedades por agentes biológicos“, el Dr. Finlay descubrió la importancia del vector biológico y, aplicándola a la fiebre amarilla, trazó el recorrido hasta llegar al mosquito Aedes aegypti.
El progreso se mide en el beneficio de los más necesitados
“En cada acto médico debe estar presente el respeto por el paciente y los conceptos éticos y morales; entonces la ciencia y la conciencia estarán siempre del mismo lado, del lado de la humanidad.”
Dr. René Favaloro
En GNU Solidario celebramos este gran hallazgo, por cuanto muestra con claridad la simbiosis entre lo natural y lo social. Justamente en el seno de las Unidades Domiciliarias de GNU Health reposa este concepto, mirando siempre los síntomas biológicos de un paciente a través del prisma de la ética y del humanismo médico. Es a través de dichas Unidades Domiciliarias y del nivel de epidemiología que buscamos hilvanar esa red tácita entre los individuos y sus interacciones, entre los macro-organismos y los micro-organismos, entre el evento real y su procesamiento virtual.
Saludamos a todas aquellas personas que día a día construyen en la medicina un cambio social. ¡Felicidades!

Dear All:
I’m proud to announce the release of GNU Health version 2.2.0 !
New functionality, bug fixes and new modules (Dengue and Diagnostic Imaging Tests ). Improvements in Surgery, appointments and patient evaluations, among others.
The development process for the next version (2.4) will focus on the upcoming Tryton 3.0.
You can download the official version from GNU
The upgrade should be straight forward, as all the upgrade scripts in Tryton and GNU Health are always included. An update=all should do it. Please report any issue you may find, either in the upgrade process or in the initial installation at health@gnu.org
Thank you for being part of the GNU Health community !

The Conference took place at the Catholic University of Chile, in Santiago, between August 01-07th, 2013. This year, as part of the recently established “ISfTeH & IFMSA Partnership”, the ISfTeH (International Society of Telemedicine & eHealth) organized an “eHealth Symposium”, on August 1st.

I was invited as an ISfTeH FLOSS Working Group representative, together with Mr. Frank Lievens and Mr. Adolfo Sparenberg, ISfTeH Board Members.
The “ISfTeH & IFMSA eHealth Symposium”, on August 1st, counted with both our local and remote presentations by very active and recognized ISfTeH members: Dr. Etienne Saliez, Dr. Monika Hübler, Eng. Thomas Karopka.

On August 2nd we attended 2 sessions:
– IFMSA GA WG Session on Public Health Strategies: Where I presented the GNU Health Project and Adolfo Sparenberg presented the Public Telecardiology Project RS State/Brazil. The focus of this session was to introduce new opportunities and strategies which can contribute to the improvement of public health assistance. Around 40 IFMSA delegates, representing different countries, were part of the audience.

GNU Health chosen by Auroville, the Universal City.

Auroville, ehealth, free software, gnu, GNU Health, GNU solidario, humanity, Public Health, UNESCO
Auroville, the Universal City, chose GNU Health, the Universal Health Information System.
The first sentence that we find when we enter Auroville’s homepage is :
“Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity.”
No wonder why we have such a good connection, since the concepts of community and universality are common to Free Software.
GNU Solidario is working hand-in-hand with Aurovillians so the City and their health center can have its own Health Information System.
 |
| The Galaxy : Auroville layout |
Auroville is located in the south of India, in Tamil Nadu state. It designed to host 50000 people, from all over the world. Currently has citizens from 45 nations.
UNESCO commendment : In 1966 UNESCO passed a unanimous resolution commending Auroville as a project of importance to the future of humanity, thereby giving their full encouragement.
 |
| Auroville’s Unending education |
GNU Health is being implemented in Auroville’s health centers, working at many levels, with health promotion and disease prevention, demographics, epidemiology and, of course, the day-by-day medical encounters and health center management. Auroville health professionals take care of the city and surroundings.
 |
| Room in Kailash Clinic |
The new building of the Auroville Institute for Integral Health was started one year ago. It will be the new home for the Kailash Clinic where a new health care model called ‘the integrative practice of medicine’ will be practised. This model is based upon collaboration of multiple medical systems (western and eastern) to provide holistic care. The building will have consultation and treatment rooms and rooms for in-patient and senior care. It will also provide training and research facilities.

| Matrimandir : The Soul of the City |
In GNU Solidario, we are honored and very proud to be part of this project, which aims to be an example of unity, community and solidarity.

Look for the inner causes of disharmony

It’s a great to see that GNU Health, the Free Software Health and Hospital Information System, has been chosen to be part of Auroville, a symbol of “sustainable living and the future cultural, environmental, social and spiritual needs of mankind“
