[e-med] Au sujet de e-med, SATELLIFE s'associe avec l'"Academy for Educational" Development

Bonjour,

Les interfaces informatique et internet de e-med, e-drug, e-pharmacos... sont g�r�s par Satellife aux Etats-Unis et viennent r�cemment de s'associer avec un nouvel organisme l'"Academy for Educational". Cela ne change en rien le fonctionnement de ReMeD mais pour plus de transparence sur la gestion de e-med, cettee pr�cision devait �tre rapport�e. Vous trouverez plus de d�tails ci-dessous.

N'oubliez pas que e-med ne prends pas de fichier attach�... de plus si vous voyez que votre message ne passe pas sur e-med et que vous ne recevez pas d'explication, merci de contacter directement les mod�rateurs

Dear colleagues,

For almost eighteen years, SATELLIFE has brought health and medical information to healthcare workers throughout the world. Our 12 global, expert-moderated discussion groups covering topics ranging from HIV/AIDS to African health research and development, have provided the foundation for our goal of leading a global partnership of health care institutions and practitioners and empowering them to communicate and share the information they need to alleviate the suffering of millions of people in the world�s poorest countries.

In order to better achieve our mission, SATELLIFE is joining with the Academy for Educational Development to form the AED-SATELLIFE Center for Health Information Technology. Founded in 1961, the Academy for Educational Development (<http://www.aed.org/&gt;www\.aed\.org\) is an independent, nonprofit organization committed to solving social problems and building the capacity of individuals, communities, and institutions to become more self-sufficient. AED works in all the major areas of development with a focus on improving health, education, and economic opportunities for the least advantaged throughout the world. SATELLIFE�s initiatives to strengthen the global health community by facilitating dialogue and disseminating relevant information on the world's most urgent health topics fit well with AED�s mission to implement solutions to critical social problems.

AED has partnered with SATELLIFE on several projects, including a moderated discussion group, ProNUT-HIV, and an associated Web site, <http://www.pronutrition.org/&gt;www\.pronutrition\.org, which offer timely information and discussions on nutrition related to HIV/AIDS, mothers and children, emergencies, and food security. AED and SATELLIFE have also collaborated on introducing handheld computers in Nepal to support a quality improvement program for local health centers.

Both we at SATELLIFE and our colleagues at AED remain committed to providing access to public health and medical information and fostering open communication on related issues. We foresee no changes in the availability of the Global Health Forums. Indeed, because AED�s efforts span the globe, we hope that many more healthcare workers will learn about and benefit from these information services. We look forward to continuing our work, putting information into the hands that heal.

Yours sincerely,
Holly Ladd
AED-SATELLIFE Center for Health Information Technology
