El centro de la salud y de la educación de las mujeres tenía el honor para lanzar este proyecto e-que aprendi’a (WomensHealthSection.com) en la asociación con el departamento de la información pública de los Naciones Unidas el 24 de octubre de 2002. Estamos emprendiendo una nueva era en remedio y healthcare. Nuestra misión es poner el remedio evidencia-basado a disposición las audiencias nacionales e internacionales. Para alcanzar a la comunidad global y responder a necesidades nacionales e internacionales, el texto está disponible en seis idiomas: Árabe, chino, (los E.E.U.U.) inglés, francés, ruso, y español. El programa de nuestro proyecto se diseña para tensionar ediciones comunes, diarias del salud-cuidado en la salud de las mujeres. Sobretodo, sin embargo, esperamos que el contenido motive la investigación futura que realzará más lejos la comprensión de la salud reproductiva. La educación es el mejor regalo de la vida a dar y a recibir. La gratitud se expresa a Sr. Paul Hoeffel, jefe, departamento de la sección del NGO de la información pública de los Naciones Unidas para su amistad, soporte y dirección. Él cree apasionado en la sabiduría fundamental en las opiniones de los abastecedores del healthcare de todo sobre el mundo, una idea que él persiguió con integridad y energía, luz del vertimiento en lado personal, espiritual de la vida humana. Él debo mi deuda más grande como la inspiración para este proyecto e-que aprende. He sido muy afortunado trabajar con el solenoide Oca, oficial de información, departamento de la sección del NGO de la información pública de los Naciones Unidas. Somos agradecidos a ella para su soporte contínuo a este proyecto. Soy agradecido a todos mis amigos y colegas de varios hospitales y universidades de enseñanza respetables de todo sobre los E.E.U.U. y otros países, que están implicados con mí en este proyecto. Su amistad y soporte ha hecho este proyecto tela-que aprendi’a un gran éxito. Observamos hacia adelante para trabajar con cualquier persona que esté interesado en mejorar maternal y salud de niño. He sido muy afortunado trabajar con Victoria A. White, CEO, eclecTechs y su equipo extraordinario en este proyecto e-que aprendi’a. Personalmente, como soy seguro en casi universal el caso, escribiendo un diario resulta ser una tarea mucho más desafiadora que fue anticipado inicialmente. Hay un golfo extenso entre tener pensamientos y las ideas y el desafío de conseguirlos organizados, escritos en el papel, y después corregidos implacablemente y formados en entero coherente. Todavía recuerdo el primer día en que discutí este proyecto con Victoria; ella me preguntó: ¿Qué su Web site quisiera hacer? Espero que esto traiga felicidad y voluntad en el mundo. Esperamos diferenciar. Gracias otra vez Rita Luthra, MDRead More
