World Health Specialists are global health professionals, individuals and organizations dedicated to providing the most current accurate and complete health information. We are from all parts of the world, but have the common bond that health information should be easily accessible to those who need it. Our focus is to provide information on how to diagnose, prevent and treat all diseases, along with other health information.
Why we are needed and were organized.
After reviewing several English and Spanish health websites, we found health information, unorganized, redundant, imprecise, unsubstantiated or unreferenced.
When a few good web sites were reviewed, the information was restricted to medical personnel or there were major fees charged by the website to access the information.
Wellington Tichenor, MD, Allergy, Sinusitis, and Asthma Specialist
prepares material for treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of sinusitis.
Although the primary information for each disease is how to diagnose, prevent and treat the disease, we provide additional information, such as pathology, statistics, and funding sources.
We are in the process of providing information and links for all diseases and conditions. Because many of the users are from developing countries with limited training information resources, we are in the process of providing detailed instructions for medical procedures, including laboratory and diagnostic tests and clinical management. In addition we provided, sources for purchasing medical equipment and supplies, and pharmaceuticals to facilitate the operation of their hospitals and clinics.
We plan to assist in providing telecommunications to remote areas, so that rural practitioners can benefit from the knowledge, and resources of major urban health facilities.
On a
country basis we are in the process of preparing a list of specialists for
patients .
Individuals and organizations may reproduce most information freely, provided they do not do use it for profit and give recognition to the World Health Specialists and/or contributing writer-specialists.
All information sources are documented. Many web pages come from reputable government sources, such as the National Institutes of Health in the USA. Other pages are compiled by health specialists, through medical literature research and their experiences.
We are in the process of establishing chat forums and specific disease bulletin boards so the public and professionals around the world can provide health information about their experiences.
Specialists will evaluate the information and present it, but with qualifications. When sufficient specialists are available the information is peer reviewed before being published.
One of the many images available for health personnel to use without charge for their health promotion programs.
For researchers, we are in the process of preparing Gray’s Anatomy and other graphics to be used in health reports and publications.
Health information can be found on our web site: www.worldhealthspecialists.org. There is no charge for the information provided. If the research, for a particular condition or some aspect of a condition has not been performed, a consulting fee will be charged.
