Sierra Leone, in collaboration with ILMedicare, is launching a groundbreaking healthcare project aimed at transforming medical services and making them accessible to all.
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone, February 17, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Sierra Leone Ambassador Umaru B. Wurie, Special Advisor to the President and Ambassador at Large, is pleased to announce the launch of a revolutionary healthcare project in collaboration with ILMedicare. The project, which will be launched before the end of Q2 2023, is aimed at transforming the healthcare system of Sierra Leone, making healthcare services accessible to everyone, including those in remote areas, which has been the dream of the President Dr. Julius Maada Bio.
The President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Julius Maada Bio, has invested a significant amount of time and resources into improving the country's healthcare system and health prevention. This telemedicine project was assigned to Ambassador Umaru B. Wurie who has been working diligently to bring it to fruition.
"I am pleased about the progress we are making in transforming the healthcare system in Sierra Leone," said President Bio. "Ambassador Umaru has been working hard to bring this project to fruition, and I am confident that it will make a significant impact in improving the health of our people."
The healthcare project is a multi-faceted approach that combines telemedicine services, prevention centers, and the expansion of healthcare services to remote areas with no clinics. The telemedicine services provided by ILMedicare will offer real-time medical consultations and treatment to patients, connecting them to top-notch doctors from Europe and Israel. The telemedicine kits are equipped with innovative technology that allows doctors to diagnose, treat, and monitor patients remotely. The project will provide access to preventive care and early disease detection, ultimately reducing healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes.
Prevention centers will be established with the ministry of health and will focus on health education, disease prevention, and early detection through regular check-ups and screenings. The project will also work with local communities to establish healthcare centers in remote areas and provide access to basic healthcare services.
Dr. Petros Agathangelou, Governor for ISCP of Cyprus and President of the Cyprus Medical Association, will be heading the project and overseeing its implementation in Sierra Leone in collaboration with the ministry of health of Sierra Leone.
Ambassador Umaru B. Wuri's dedication to the healthcare sector has been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. He has quietly worked tirelessly to advance the health care system and services of Sierra Leone and he is the emissary of the President of Sierra Leone in this project.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this project given to me by his excellency the president, which will bring positive changes to the healthcare system of Sierra Leone," said Ambassador Umaru B. Wuri. "The support of the President of Sierra Leone and ILMedicare has been invaluable, and I am confident that the project will make a significant difference in the lives of millions of Sierra Leoneans when launched."
The combination of telemedicine, prevention centers, and expanded healthcare services to remote areas is a unique approach that will revolutionize healthcare in Sierra Leone. This project will significantly benefit millions of people across the country and bring healthcare services to those who need it most.

First-ever award will be presented at the 2023 Tandem Meetings in conjunction with the inaugural GVHD Day on Friday, Feb. 17, 2023
ORLANDO, Fla., February 16, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
In recognition of the first-ever GVHD (graft-versus-host disease) Day, the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), a member of the GVHD Alliance, is proud to announce Steven Pavletic, MD, MS, as the inaugural recipient of the Lukas D. Wartman GVHD Achievement Award.
The GVHD Achievement Award is named in honor of Lukas Wartman, MD, a top oncologist who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 2003 and developed chronic GVHD following two bone marrow transplants. Despite his challenging condition, he continues to be a leading advocate for GVHD, a serious and rare condition that impacts around 10,000 people in the U.S. each year.
"Establishing this award in his name is a testament to Dr. Wartman's incredible journey with GVHD — personally and professionally," said Corey Cutler, MD, MPH, FRCPC, Vice President of ASTCT. "It is also an important recognition of the relentless dedication of medical professionals, like Dr. Pavletic, to advance research and ultimately improve outcomes for patients living with GVHD."
As the first recipient of the GVHD Achievement Award, Dr. Pavletic embodies all the qualities the award aims to recognize, including a persistent dedication to improving outcomes for GVHD patients, consistently embracing novel ideas to improve outcomes for GVHD patients, advancing the science to treat GVHD, and advocating for GVHD patients.
Dr. Pavletic is the senior clinician of the Immune Deficiency Cellular Program and head of the GVHD and Late Effects Section within the Center for Cancer Research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he leads research, both patient-reported and trial-based, and is focused on continuously improving the overall outcomes for patients. He also organized the NIH GVHD Consensus Consortium, which is dedicated to advancing treatment and improving the quality of life for patients living with GVHD.
"I know Lukas very well, and I am honored to accept this inaugural award which carries his name," said Dr. Pavletic. "There are numerous unsung heroes battling GVHD and advocating for better treatment and research. Lukas' story and his work symbolize all of these aspects — his professional focus on research, his personal battle with the disease, his advocacy for others who have GVHD."
Graft-versus-host disease, or GVHD, is a complication that can happen after an allogeneic blood and marrow transplant, meaning the cells came from a donor. In GVHD, donor cells (the graft) attack the patient's (the host's) organs and/or tissues. GVHD impacts around 10,000 people in the U.S. each yearand is characterized as acute GVHD (aGVHD) or chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Allogeneic blood and marrow transplant recipients can develop one, both or neither form of GVHD.

iQuanti: Losing someone is never easy, and the grieving process can be difficult and overwhelming. Not to mention all the practical things to take care of when you lose someone close, such as making the funeral arrangements, clearing out the deceased's home, and managing financial matters.
Everyone's experience is different and there is no "right" way to grieve, but these nine steps may help during this time of mourning:
1. Reach out to your support system. It can be helpful to talk with close friends or family members about the situation and find solace in their understanding. After losing a loved one, it can be comforting to hear stories and memories of the person who has passed away.
2. Make a plan for sharing the news. Talk through who should be contacted, as well as when and how you want to deliver the news of your loss.
3. Give yourself space to grieve. The first few days can be some of the most difficult, with funeral arrangements to make and practical matters to take care of. Remember to allow yourself time and space to process the emotions that come up. Practice self-care and remember to take care of your physical health during this difficult time.
4. Consider memorial arrangements. You may want to talk with family members or close friends to determine what type of arrangements you would like to make. Depending on the wishes of the deceased—and plans, if they made any—decide what type of service should be held, who will officiate, and where it will take place.
5. Publish an obituary. Consider writing an obituary or sharing a reflective note to honor the life of the deceased. Thinking about the deceased's life can help you start to process your grief.
6. Talk with children and grandchildren in your family. Depending on their age and understanding, you may need to provide additional support and explain what is happening in simple language they can understand.
7. Gather important documents. Ensure that you have access to all the necessary legal and financial documents related to the deceased, such as a driver's license, Social Security card, birth certificate, marriage certificate, will or trust, insurance policies and bank account information. Get copies of the death certificate if needed.
8. Notify any important institutions. When you are ready, contact banks, creditors, employers and other important institutions related to the deceased. This can mean contacting the deceased's life insurance provider and notifying them (this is true whether the deceased had a term life policy or a permanent policy like whole life insurance).
9. Understand that grief is a process. Give yourself time and permission to grieve and heal for as long as needed. Remember that grief looks different for everyone. As time goes by, you may decide that you need to talk to someone, such as a therapist, for additional support. No matter what, it's important to remember to be gentle with yourself as you go through this difficult time.

Originally planted in 1998 by the late Dr. Maurice Galante, Dr. Galante Vineyard is one of the finest pieces of land in the area for grape growing, with a cool northern hillside exposure, bordered by forest, deep and lingering fog intrusion, and classic Goldridge soil. The vineyard is located just 1/2 mile from DuMOL's existing Green Valley Estate vineyards, all now farmed by DuMOL's own farming crew.

DuMOL is proud to announce its recent acquisition of the Dr. Galante Estate Vineyard, raising its Estate holdings to 80 planted acres, and solidifying their quest to produce wines of exceptional quality and unique character, with clear expression of site.
The acquisition of Dr. Galante Vineyard is timed beautifully with the Russian River Valley's 40th anniversary. Since DuMOL's inception over 25 years ago, they've been studying their local neighborhood, the distinctive Green Valley of the Russian River Valley, understood to be one of the best places on earth to grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
In concert with fog from the Pacific Ocean, free-draining soils, heritage vine selections, and the hands of skilled and driven winegrowers, the winery's continual study of the land's seen and unforeseen occurrences mean their capacity to craft world-class wines grows each season.
Dr. Galante Vineyard is one of the finest pieces of land in the area for grape growing. With a cool northern hillside exposure, bordered by forest, deep and lingering fog intrusion, and classic Goldridge soil with patches of highly-prized Altamont friable red sandy/clays, DuMOL is thrilled to add the vineyard to its portfolio and discover its potential intimately.
Dr. Galante is located just ½ mile from DuMOL's existing Green Valley Estate vineyards—initially 10 acres planted by DuMOL's Winemaker and Partner Andy Smith in 2004, and subsequently expanded to a total of 30 acres. Today, with mature, balanced vines across four contiguous parcels in Green Valley, Smith, whose first vintage with DuMOL was 1998, is boots-on-the-ground, ensuring wine quality, daily.
In a brief timeline of Estate-vineyard events: DuMOL developed its Green Valley Estate in 2004 and 2005; planted MacIntyre Estate in 2016, leased Flax Estate in 2017, leased Wildrose Estate in 2018; and purchased Galante Estate in 2023.
In-house farming has always been the next step for DuMOL. Working with a crew of 15, Winemaker and Partner Andy Smith, Associate Winemaker Jenna Davis and Viticulturist James King will strengthen DuMOL's continual focus on quality, ensuring the most sensitive agricultural practices are implemented.
A portion of the fruit from Dr. Galante will lead DuMOL's Wester Reach cuvée, a Pinot Noir with tremendous harmony, expressing the varied soils, microclimates, and entire Russian River Valley appellation. Following the 2023 harvest, the team will begin a process of incremental redevelopment of the property, focusing on DuMOL's preferred heritage vine selections.
Who was Dr. Galante? Dr. Maurice Galante, a legendary San Francisco-based surgeon and UCSF Professor Emeritus, bought the apple orchard planted on Goldridge Soil in the mid-1980s. Dr. Galante was fortunate enough to meet Peter Mondavi who encouraged him to convert his orchard into a vineyard. It was first planted with 22 acres of Pinot Noir vines in 1998. The two, Mondavi and Galante went on to create several limited-edition vintages using grapes from Galante's vineyard.
Today, a new chapter begins for the vineyard as it joins DuMOL's Estate holdings, all within a 10-mile radius, now farmed by its in-house crew.
"One of the greatest privileges of a winemaker is to develop, plant, and farm a piece of land. Much to my delight, I have yet another vineyard project on the horizon." —Andy Smith, DuMOL's Winemaker, and Partner

Advanced Lipedema Treatment (ALT) is proud to announce that Dr. David Amron's specialized treatment for lipedema will be in-network with Aetna insurance starting March 15, with scheduling starting today. This is a significant step forward for the millions of women suffering from this chronic and often misdiagnosed condition.
Lipedema is a disease that causes abnormal and painful accumulation of fat in the legs and arms, affecting an estimated 11% of women — 17 million in the U.S. and 440 million worldwide. Despite its prevalence, lipedema is not widely recognized by insurance companies. Getting coverage for lipedema surgery is complicated. ALT's dedicated insurance team, with over 40 years of experience, worked tirelessly to secure coverage for lipedema patients, at no cost to patients.
"After years of work getting lipedema recognized by insurance companies, we are thrilled to announce Aetna will now cover our treatment methods," said Dr. Amron, creator of the groundbreaking Advanced Lipedema Treatment (ALT) method. "This is a turning point for women suffering from lipedema and a testament to the tireless efforts of patients, advocates, and our dedicated insurance team.
"We're not done yet," Dr. Amron said. "We're working on additional insurances for the near future and fighting for insurance reform to make lipedema treatment more accessible to all women."
Increasing access to the best lipedema care is a theme with Dr. Amron and his team at ALT. Recent efforts include launching the first-ever educational lipedema series on YouTube called "Lippy Logic," expanding ALT with a new location in Salt Lake City, advocating for insurance coverage, going in-network with Aetna, and providing hands-on education for lipedema surgeons on the latest treatment methods.
"This is a vindicating step forward for lipedema awareness and our best method for treating it, making the most effective method for lipedema treatment more accessible to those who need it," said Dr. Amron. "We are proud to be at the forefront of this movement and will continue to work diligently to ensure that lipedema patients get the coverage and care they need and deserve."
This news is a significant victory for lipedema patients and advocates who have been working to get the condition recognized and covered by insurance companies. By choosing Dr. Amron as your lipedema surgeon, you can now receive his specialized care as an in-network provider with Aetna.
"It's been a long and difficult journey, but our hard work has finally paid off today for everyone who has been waiting for news like this," added Dr. Amron.
For more information about Dr. Amron and ALT, visit AdvancedLipedemaTreatment.com to learn more or to schedule a consultation.
