GlobalMD - About Us

About Us

We had this idea while we were working in several African countries over the last five years. GlobalMD.Org Network aims to establish a social community among medical and public health professionals around the world.

Within the medical community, doctors share their expertise and know-how to fight diseases, studying clinical cases and researching medical questions for tomorrow. With Internet technology, we make it possible to integrate GlobalMD and medical professionals around the globe. Ten years ago, in a small village in Africa, a viral disease could be spread among millions before the world took notice. All the villagers could do was to pray to "God." Five years ago, a severe epidemic happened in Asia and soon crossed the border to other countries. Although there was medical service available, it was not adequate to help. " Now, using the internet and wireless communications, we can generate real -time reports, coordinate relief, and monitor the outbreaks from anywhere. The technology and the pathway is here. We are forming the GlobalMD community.

The benefits are fundamental and overwhelming - not only for medical doctors, but also for better public health globally. Where there is a connected community with common intentions, we are much stronger to fight human diseases. This is a Golden opportunity to come together and take action.

Large international entities and charities are helping. They are developing better systems of public health and medical care delivery for the poverty stricken. But in many cases there is little hope, still millions of new cases of HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria occur every year. Millions of new born babies will never open their eyes to see the world. These are still extremely desperate and serious cases. The GlobalMD community, especially In those developing countries, will unite doctors in the front line to fight diseases. The sick and weak need the strongest community support and help. With the GlobalMD network, we will be able to deliver assistance anywhere it is needed. International donors will appreciate this revolutionary strategy to save life. Can you contribute and help to build up the GlobalMD network? This is a job for all of us.

We are a group of medical doctors from multi-countries and with multi-culture background. However, we have the same mission and goal to unify Medical Professionals around the world to benefit for each other.

GlobalMD Network:

What is challenging us in this world of 21st Century? Disease, poverty and enviromental pollution are still troubling us as the world is becoming smaller while technology advances. GlobalMD network ( http://www.globalMD.org ) is addressing one of the important challenges that is faced by humankind, disease. GlobalMD aims to build up a social network among the medical professionals in the world. With a designated Internet communication, GlobalMD network will address the critical issues in the world public health .

GlobalMD network is a unique platform and channel for the doctors in the developing countries, such as Africa, Asia, Central and South America. GlobalMD wants to contribute towards excellent medical practice. IT is understood that to conduct high level practice, access to information, medical resources, advanced equipment, opportunities to discuss with other colleagues and know alternatives to treatment occurring across cultures and the world are important.

Although many governments and other entities support the fight with AIDS, TB and malaria problems, etc in the world, there is not yet a virtual medical professional network enabling physicians to communicate each other at daily basis and to share experience in a real time manner. The Internet based GlobalMD network, will soon have developed the largest social network among medical professionals. It has been designed so that the specific internet features can also protect sensitive privacy issues. We envision the GlobalMD network to be a fundamental tool for our future and to fight disease and improve the quality of the life.

GlobalMD network funcations as a practical platform and channel towards those ends, we anticipate that it will bring remarkable benefits for participating physicians and the world society.
