Dear Shauna and Sam,
Many thanks for your additional comments. Sam, it’s very sensible for
you to run your programme mainly with your own resources (ie being mainly
self-sufficient) but I do wish you success with getting additional
funding/resources so you can enhance the programme. It must be very satisfying
[...]
Dear Len
Yes I Noted. Thank you for the message

PS – Mladen, thank you for the southern support
Dear Dr. Len Cornish
This is a Seminar that I always had the interest to participate but due to
financial limitations was never possible.
Asthis an event has the interest of several people from Latin America and
I believe also from Africa, why dont you make the seminar on line. Each one
can pay a [...]
Dear Len
As a fellow latitudinally-challenged but keen participant in these
matters I fully support my colleague from across the southern Atlantic!
How’s that for ‘appropriate’ technology !!
Best regards

Dear Mladen.
It’s very good to hear from you and many thanks for your support and
contribution to our previous seminars.
I hope that the reply which I sent to Calil via INFRATECH a few minutes ago
is an encouraging and “appropriate” reply. Any suggestions to make future
seminars even more user-friendly and accessible are [...]
Dear Calil,
Many thanks for your e-mail. The only part of this seminar which requires
physical attendance is the evening session on 13 May 2010 (see www.theiet.org/aht2010 for the
Programme). Incidentally, registration for the evening session is free.
The aim is to make all accepted papers (hopefully including the
Keynote [...]

Dear Sam,
I echo Len in commending you for this initiative. It is exactly what is
needed: formal biomed training for local technicians at an established
academic institution. Good on you!!
In the Gambia, where I work, there are no specialized biomedical
technology/engineering courses at the technology institute or university; we
recruit electronics technology graduates and all biomed specific [...]
Dear all
I am working with the World Health Organization, more specifically with the
Diagnostic Imaging and Medical Devices unit of the Health technologies
Department in a world wide survey. Its objective is to identify Biomedical
Teaching Units (Universities, Technical Schools, Foundations, Training
Centers, etc.) that can be contacted in the near future to help on training
programs for subjects such [...]
Dear Len,
Yes our wishlist is quite a bunch of things. I have been prompted to send this
out after you asked me to point out what are our requirements.
Note that originally I was picking up on the lead from Shauna who said she has friends who want to donate medical equipment. Then I thought maybe somebody [...]
Dear Sam,
Thanks for your reply. These are quite significant lists. I have a few more
questions
a)Do you have any of these items already ?
b) Do you already have funding sources for the course including the
equipment and books ?
c) Are there any other sources of funding which you are investigating
or [...]
Thank you very much Sam for the information, especially information
regarding the required library. It is
usable information in all countries.
Best regards.

Thanks Len.
Attached is our “wishlist” for both demo/test equipment (BMET Course Desired Equipment)
and books (BMET Course Desired Books). Related products not cited on this list are open for consideration.
Regarding the points you mentioned:
“it would be interesting to know if you have developed the curriculum for the programme or whether you
are used [...]
Thanks Binseng.
Following your remark on lack of feedback here is mine:
Is Appropriate Healthcare Technologies an ethical concept ?
Yes. Very much so. Many valid views have been mentioned by a lot many respondents.
Mladen (my former lecturer if I may add) has summed up
my views quite accurately is saying, “this presents special challenges
since the clients/recipients are generally not [...]
Dear Sam,
It’s great news to hear that a 3-year training programme for BMET’s is
being set up in Uganda. It would be interesting to INFRATECH members to know
what is your wish list for demo equipment and test equipment. This may help
members to focus on how they can help you.
Secondly, it would be interesting to [...]
