Dear all,
I had the pleasure to attend the XII Mediterranean Conference in Chalkidiki in Greece. It was a very good experience to meet people and attend presentations from biomedical engineers all around the word. I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Yadin, Mrs. Monique Frize and attend a session chaired by Mr. Calil.
I will be attending [...]
Dear Friends

They just responded sending their gratitude to all of you
I believe there is nothing better to the parents to learn how considered was
his son here in Brazil and abroad
Thank you all
Calil
Joao Carlos was one of the best professional colleagues I have had. He was truly bright and energetic and cared deeply about his work and about the clinical engineering profession. More importantly, though, he was a true friend with a big and warm heart. Joao was definitely my favorite person to spend sharing jokes and [...]

WE feel the same. Too young, bright and always willing to help others.

Dear Bill Gentles,
Seen your “PS to David” in your email below may I add this one other advantage when one’s posting covers just one topic: it highly simplifies the search when somebody wants to check out a previous posting via the Online archive for the INFRATECH discussion group.
For example I may remember that there was [...]
Dear Bill and all interested Infratechers,
Point taken, Bill, re. attention span of typical infratecher. I would have thought ……well …..
On brevity, I’m no Moses, but I can’t see how even he could whittle down his TEN commandments to a mere singleton – perhaps a bland “Try and be good people, my people” ?
A propos Ismaels’s [...]

Dear infratechers, both ‘narrow- and open-minded’,
When I saw David Porter’s reference to the book
“Limits to Medicine” I got it off the shelf and read it again –
I think it should be read by all who work in health technology.
(amazingly, the book is still in print.)
Much of what was written by Ivan Illich in 1975 still [...]
Thank you all for your nice comments..This is what I found out very quickly when I started advocating for injection safety in countries : the more facts you have, the more successful you are in getting the message across and to have an impact ( even small) on future decisions made by decision makers !
I’m [...]
Dear Rob and Harry
I just went to your website to see what Health Partners International is
about. Congratulations on the fantastic work you are doing around the
world especially in the most vulnerable countries. I’m working in
several LMIC and think it’s the most exciting part of my job !Is it
possible for me to be a member of [...]
Hi Mike,
Simon Levy, a student from Nottingham, is giving a short presentation on his
flat-pack incubator, and Tom Russell (an old student of yours I believe)
will be attending.
Regards,
Barry Lovern
I’ve been informally involved with them for several years through student placements overseas and by running undergraduate projects on things like a battery-free laryngoscope, and this year making a low-cost incubator. I’m not sure if any of my students are going to the event this year, but the timing isn’t great for me, so unfortunately [...]
Dear Pete
This is indeed what we need to further discuss in this forum. Innovative solutions to address problems we witness while assessing injection practices including sharps waste collection and final disposal.
WHO is currently running a field testing of needle cutters/removers to see if , adding another step before discarding the used syringe, might lead to [...]
Yes I’ve heard they’re fantastic.
Disclaimer. I am organising said conference.
