Few weeks ago we got a mail from Beatriz Meijide. She is from Spain and she has been involved in a very great project for the last 10 years.
Beatriz has been collaborating with the Kyeni Consolata Hospital (Kenya), this a 166 bed hospital with a patient growth on +188% from 2005 to 2012. It is considered the locals favorite hospital for personalised attention and services. The hospital has improved a lot since 2005 and the idea of the people working there is to enhance it even more.  Knowing that the Hospital was in need of an Hospital Information System, Beatriz heard about GNU Health and contacted us and completed a GNU Health Training.
These are her words:

    ” … I believe GNU Health will take the Kyeni Hospital to another level an it will greatly increase the efficiency and control of the hospital information. I think it covers all te areas we need and it also offers the ability to customize further developments if they are required. It’s been a very intense training and I believe I’ll be able to train the  local team in Kenya ! GNU Health is a very “user-friendly” system and I hope we’ll be another success story … ” Beatriz Meijide

Thanks again to Beatriz and the Kyeni Hospital. We’re very proud and exited to be part of this beatiful project !

The upcoming GNU Health version 2.0, will come with a new demographics section. This will improve and speed up data entry at the front desk, and differentiates individual vs patient information. It will also improve data collection for better Primary Care campaigns.
 

Another new feature of the upcoming version will be the integration with OpenStreetMap ! It can visualize the exact location of any Domiciliary Unit in your operational sector around the world. Thanks to the OSM integration, we can now early identify disease outbreaks, improve epidemiology and demographic studies and many other actions to improve public health.

We are very pleased to announce that the University of West Indies has joined the GNU Health‘s Community !
GNU Solidario and UWI are starting this cooperation working closely on GNU Health’s development and deployment in the region.
The University of the West Indies is a dynamic, international institution serving the countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean (Anguilla, Antigua/Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Christopher-Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and the Turks and Caicos Islands).
UWI’s mission is to unlock West Indian potential for economic and cultural growth by high quality teaching and research aimed at meeting critical regional needs, by providing West Indian society with an active intellectual centre and by linking the West Indian community with distinguished centres of research and teaching in the Caribbean and overseas. 
UWI recognises that as a regional university supported by the West Indian peoples, and as the sole local organ equipped to meet local requirements and to relate its own developmental programmes to them, it should give priority to regional needs (…).
It’s wonderful to see how the GNU Health’s community is growing. We need to deliver more Health and Education with Free Software !

WHO Essential Medicines will be a new module from GNU Health 2.0.
Although the updated list of WHO essential medicines has been in GNU Health for quite a while, we have decided to create a module for itself, this will give us more flexibility and modularity.

Welcome health_who_essential_medicines ! More information on this at the WHO site http://www.who.int/topics/essential_medicines/en/

Medicamentos Esenciales de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), será un nuevo módulo de la version 2.0 de GNU Health.
Aunque la lista actualizada de los medicamentos esenciales de la OMS ha estado en GNU Health durante bastante tiempo, hemos decidido crear un módulo especifico, esto nos dará más flexibilidad y modularidad.

Bienvenido health_who_essential_medicines! Mas información en el sito de la OMS: http://www.who.int/topics/essential_medicines/es/index.html
