The United Nations University (UNU) has adopted MEDICAL

United Nations University – International Institute for Global Health (IIGH)  ( http://www.unu.edu ) has joined the MEDICAL community. MEDICAL will offer them an online teaching resource for a Hospital Information System (HIS).

GNU Solidario and UNU are now working together in specific areas, such as the documentation process. GNU Solidario will also work with UNU in the installation of a demo server.

This is yet another great example of how free software can leverage the resources to help the developing countries. Many thanks to Mr Nurhizam Safie Mohd Satar who is leading the MEDICAL integration project at the United Nations University – International Institute for Global Health (IIGH).

This common effort will increase the amount of physicians using Free Software, and we will all benefit with their valuable feedback.

I take the opportunity to thank the United Nations and their Development Program – UNDP – ( http://www.undp.org) , since it’s been supporting our mission since 2009. Mr Raul Zambrano, Senior Policy Advisor on ICT and Governance for the UNDP, was one of the lecturers at IWEEE (http://www.iweee.org)  2010 in Las Palmas.

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.

The Academic Hospital Paramaribo (AZP) is the largest and most modern hospital in Suriname.

The AZP was founded march 9, 1966 as a central hospital and was changed into the Academic Hospital Paramaribo in 1969 gaining its university status. The current staff consists of about 1700 co-workers. The AZP Hospital has a 470 bed capacity.

On a yearly basis 20.000 patients are hospitalized, while about 176.0000 out-patients visit the hospital.

We greatly appreciate AZP commitment to Medical and support to our organization, GNU Solidario. We are working with AZP to initially provide specific functionality in pediatric care and cardiology. This is a clear example on how large hospitals can collaborate to Free software, where the rest of the world will also benefit.

Before the end of the year we will witness three major milestones : 

  • Medical 1.0
  • OpenERP 6.0
  • Debian GNU/Linux 6.0

In this blog I write about the importance of Debian in our organization, GNU Solidario.

We, GNU Solidario, have been using Debian GNU/Linux for many years, not only in our installations, but in our implementations, as well as mirroring the repositories for Argentina.

This entry is a tribute to the Debian community, which has been always at the heart of Free Software, and today is the source for many linux distributions (including Ubuntu).
Here are some pictures when we installed some years ago Debian GNU/Linux in two rural schools in Santiago del Estero.

Thanks to Debian for all these years of contribution to the community, as a truly Free Operating System.
If you are about to get into GNU/Linux, try Debian, it’s very stable; has a great community and it’s truly free ! Visit http://www.debian.org

    Release of Medical 0.1.3 and OpenERP v6 integration

    I’m happy to announce the release of Medical 0.1.3, with includes bug fixes and improvements in Patient Hospitalization Management, Laboratory Administration and PoS / Billing, among others.

    It all looks like that Medical v1 and OpenERP v6 will come out very closely in dates.

    For the last weeks, I’ve been working on adapting Medical to the upcoming version of OpenERP v6. I have work on the code, the views and the documentation, so I can say now that most of the code is v6 compatible ( including wizards).

    Medical 0.1.3 has been released today. From this point on, all the active development (trunk) will be done in OpenERP / OpenObject v6.

    The current trunk has been moved to branch openerp5. This will be based in medical 0.1.3 and it’s a maintenance version, so bugfixes will be applied to it.

    I invite all of you who are actively developing Medical to download the latest OpenERP repository and install Medical on it.  Please document the new functionality on the Wiki (http://medical.wiki.sourceforge.net). I already documented the installation process for Medical under OpenERP v6.

    This approach is the best way to keep Medical uptodate with the latest OpenERP developments, improvements and functionality. Of course, we will keep the 5x version for people that don’t want to migrate at this point.

    The new online demo of Medical version , compatible with openerp v6 will be available soon at the GNU Solidario portal. Same user, ports, etc..
