Re: Request for help with training, policies, standards for Ethiopia

Dear Pete,
No these documents don’t. But there are some which I should also have. As
I just wrote to Yadin, I am in the process of finalizing putting my library
in order, which I plan to finish in a couple of weeks. May be before the
London AHT conference. I will also be there, [...]

Re: Request for help with training, policies, standards for Ethiopia

Yadin,
Please just wait for another couple of weeks, when I plan to finish with
categorizing, referrencing and scanning my docs (around 1000 items). Then,
we plan to place them on the new IUPESM-HTTG site to which there could be a
link at the IFMBE CED site. Is this OK with you?

Re: Request for help with training, policies, standards for Ethiopia

Dear Andrei,
Do any of these documents refer to the use of motorcycle ambulances
(specifically sidecar, not trailer) for referral in remote regions.
The reason I ask is that I am attending the “Appropriate Healthcare
Technologies for Developing Countries” – IET London: Savoy Place, 2
Savoy Place, London WC2R 0BL on Wednesday May 13 2010.
Where I will [...]

Re: Request for help with training, policies, standards for Ethiopia

Andrei:
Sharing your knowledge about existing documents is fantastic. I
wonder if you can also send me copies for the purpose of up loading them
to the IFMBE/Clinical Engineering Division website (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/CEDGlobal/)
so more CEs will be able to access them.
Thanking you in advance
Yadin David

Re: FW: Change Management and the Poor

Dear David and Andrew:

Thanks Andrew for the very interesting article on New Scientist. I think we
all need to start paying more attention to “outcome-based research” on
international aid and related subjects, much like Evidence-based Medicine
but applied to international aid.

As David pointed out, well meaning agencies and people often put their own
principles and ideas above the [...]

Re: Change Management and the Poor

Dear All
Linked with David’s email on this topic, I noted an article in New Scientist recently:
Foreign aid article
(http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20627564.400-foreign-aid-may-stymie-
homegrown-healthcare-spending.html)
For our community, maybe we could examine what commitment (financial or
otherwise) was there locally for a project and see if that links with successful
outcomes. If this article’s findings are true at all for [...]

Re: Set 4: Past notes incorrectly posted to Infratech

Dear Andre Moule,

First of all let me apologize for the solecism I committed in the ‘Subject’
title-line of my e-circular. “Another voice needed for the HTM Revolution”.

That word “voice” in the title was a careless choice on my part since I did not
mean readers to understand that I was referring to an ‘Advocating Voice’ -
God knows [...]

Re: Set 3: Past notes incorrectly posted to Infratech

Dear Atlantan comrades and other revolutionary allies and friends,

I stirred a minor controversy recently by challenging the use of the modern
jargon ‘Change Management’ in place of the more straightforward phrase
‘Managing Change’ to describe what was happening and indeed what was needed in
the rapidly growing world of health care technology. I encouraged readers to
think more radically [...]

Re: Set 2: Past notes incorrectly posted to Infratech

Dear Atlantan comrades & other friends,

I was gratified to see the overwhelmingly positive response to Joe McKie’s article on
“Managing the Revolution”. Many thanks to all of you who took the trouble to email your
reactions and comments. Knowing Joe, I think he might be a bit embarrassed at having the
spot-light shone on him again after so [...]
