JULY, 9th, 2015 – THE INAUGURATION CEREMONY OF THE ROTARY
CLUB OF BAHIA PRESIDENCY AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE ROTARY MOBILE HEALTH FOR
NEEDY CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS.





ROTARY MOBILE HEALTH NEW WORLD



The Rotary
Club of Bahia and its Rotarian and non-Rotarian co-partners take one more step
towards the UN Millennium Development Goals, focusing on mother and child care and
child mortality reduction. Today Rotary International deployed one more program
– integrating the fifth mobile health unit education and health catalyzers. The
mobile unit was designed and built on a regular micro-bus frame, all financed
by donations of &nbsp;Rotarians from different
countries, in partnership with The Rotary Foundation .



The whole
idea started small by some Rotarian volunteers in the year 2011-2012, when the
Rotarian MD Professor Geraldo Leite and his disciples of Bahia School of
Medicine, acting according to a planned and written Memorandum of Understanding
joined forces with the Rotary Club of Bahia and the Rotary International
District 4550, for the deployment of the Joint Pro-health Action, which started
health promotion works on week-ends at the Rotary School of Itapoan, assisting
several thousand needy adults and children of Salvador poorer residential
areas. 



Immediately
after, upon request by Jequié and Guanambi Rotarians the joint efforts were replicated
and expanded to various regions of Bahia State, reaching cities in partnership
with the neighboring District 4390.



The program
was successful and soon unfolded in the “Alliance for Health”, a better
organized program signed between Rotary and the José Silveira Foundation, with
the operation of the Rotary Mobile Health Unit and its interdependent Rotary
Health 3 Blue Van.



The
Foundation José Silveira, originally IBIT is a charity entity founded by late Professor
José Silveira (Rotarian), a pioneer in the prevention and treatment of lung TB
and he was helped by several other Rotarians, including the unforgettable Alvaro
Pinheiro Lemos, Gerlado Leite, Carlos Dumet, Monica Moreira and many others.



Furthermore, the
importance for the Rotary Club of Bahia adopting the Millennium Development
Goals of the UN, notably the fight against infant mortality, raised the
motivation of Rotarians who are board members of the charity not-for-profit
League Alvaro Bahia Against Child Mortality, led by Rosina Bahia ,herself a
Rotarian of Novo Centro Alphaville, among them: Roberto Lerner, Pedro Teles,
Eraldo Moura Costa, Eduardo Athayde, Emmanuel Mendonca, Durval Olivieri,
Fabricio Soares, Jose Galende, Walter Pinheiro, Jorge Novis, Edilucio
Fernandes, Alberto Valenca, Ivan Barroso, forces in various evening meetings to
make possible the borader design of the Twenty Year Strategic Planning for the Martagão
Gesteira Charity Oncology and Cardiology Children Hospital, in order to expand
its activities and make the the entity sustainable for one more century.



The pediatric
surgeon MD Emanuel Melo led the planning meetings and took on the implementation
of the plans with a very dynamic leadership and a young team in continuous
learning and benchmarking with the best entities of Brazil and other countries.
We owe to this Doctor, now serving the State Government in high ranks, having
upgraded the Martagão to a level of being reference as of now as a Teaching
Hospital, in high complexity surgeries, cardiology, neurology, oncology and
orthopedics, and , soon in organ transplants and assistance to autism. Maybe
the best public service school hospital (dully recognized by both the Ministry
of Education and the Ministry of Health) in Northeastern Brazil. When Rotarian
visitors came to see the hospital in the year 2013 it was all disturbed by
retrofitting civil works. Right now the goal is operating 40 beds of &nbsp;ICU and Neo-natal ICU. The Martagão now
operates with 180 inpatients and 500 out-patients per day and the Rotarian
architect donated a master plan for doubling the capacity of the hospital in
child oncology.



The League
Alvaro Bahia Against Infant Mortality, completed its 92 years, in 2015 and the
Martagão Hospital Gesteira its first fiftieth anniversary. Both entities are
officially recognized as works of prioritary pub. The League was idealized and
founded by Rotarians Álvaro Pontes Bahia and Joaquim Martagão Gesteiraaths
their names were given to the entities in their memory). They had the help of
several other founders of the Rotary Club of Bahia: Carlos Costa Pinto, Álvaro
Augusto da Silva, Edizio Athayde, Aristides Novis, Pamphilo de Carvalho, R. Magalhães,
Clemente Mariani, Pedro Ribeiro, Geraldo Dannemann, Norberto Odebrecht, Braulio
Xavier and many other Rotarians ofBahia.



Please, Mrs.
Rosina Bahia, Mr. Antonio Novaes Jr and MD Adriana Cardoso, as leaders Alvaro
Bahia League Agianst Child Mortality, please come forward to receive from the
hands of both Rotarian Presidents Antonio Alberto Valença and Anaci Bispo Paim
the



Rotary Mobile
Health for Children – THE NEW WORLD – A PROGRAM OF ASSISTANCE AND REFERENCE TO
CHILDREN WITH AUSTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS.



This is a
pioneering initiative of Rotary in supporting public health efforts for the Government
of the State of Bahia. This is the fifth Rotary Mobile Health Unit which
catalyze processes of high quality clinical assistance and reference for health
care to the needy population of Salvador and Bahia State.



We Rotarians
in our SERVICE ABOVE SELF joint effort wish this to be a long lasting and
valuable public action in disease prevention education and treatment as well as
being a program for development of Rotarianism and durable community, national
and international fellowship and cooperation. Let us all keep up the good work
managing this program and adding one more Moble Health Unit and, once more, a
totally diverse networking multi-disciplinary process: the Mobile Health
Against Tuberculosis, a one time solved malady, but now, due to various factors
a recurrent deadly bacterial disease, resistant to already developed
antibiotics.



We Rotarians
are pleased when we SERVE.

ENTREGA DO ÔNIBUS
ROTARY&nbsp;SAÚDE&nbsp;MÓVEL DA&nbsp;CRIANÇA COM TRANSTORNOS DO ESPECTRO DE
AUTISMO.



ROTARY SAÚDE MÓVEL NOVO MUNDO



O Rotary Club da Bahia e seus parceiros rotários e
não rotários dão mais um passo para os Objetivos do Milênio, cuidando da saúde
da mãe e da criança, fazendo hoje a entrega da&nbsp;quinta unidade móvel de saúde,adquirida e doada pelos
rotarianos de diversas nacionalidades, em parceria com a Fundação Rotária.



Tudo começou no ano Rotário 2011-2012, quando o
Rotariano Professor Doutor Geraldo Leite e seus discípulos da Escola Baiana de
Medicina se associaram por Protocolo de Entendimentos formal ao Rotary Club da
Bahia e ao Distrito 4550 do Rotary International, para a realização do Mutirão
da Saúde, que iniciou trabalhos de promoção da saúde no Colégio Rotary,
atendendo a alguns milhares de adultos e crianças carentes da Bahia.



Os mutirões se repetiram e se expandiram ao
interior da Bahia.



O programa teve sucesso e logo se desdobrou na&nbsp;Aliança Para a Saúde, firmada entre o Rotary e a
Fundação José Silveira, com a operação do Onibus Rotary Saúde Móvel 1 e da Van
Rotary de Saúde 3.



A Fundação José Silveira, originalmente IBIT, é uma
entidade filantrópica fundada pelo rotariano professor José Silveira, pioneiro
em prevenção e tratamento da tuberculose pulmonar e que foi apoiado por diversos
outros rotarianos, entre eles o inesquecível companheiro Álvaro&nbsp;Pinheiro&nbsp;Lemos, o próprio Gerlado Leite,
Carlos Dumet, Monica Moreira e diversos outros.



Mais adiante, a prioridade do Rotary Club da Bahia
para com os Objetivos do Milênio aprovados pela ONU, notadamente o combate à
mortalidade infantil, despertou a motivação de rotarianos que fazem parte do
Conselho da Liga Álvaro Bahia Contra a Mortalidade Infantil, liderados por
Rosina Bahia, entre eles Roberto Lerner, Pedro Teles, Eraldo Moura Costa,
Eduardo Athayde, Emanuel Mendonça, Durval Olivieri, Fabricio Soares, Jose
Galende,&nbsp;Walter&nbsp;Pinheiro, Jorge Novis, Edilucio
Fernandes, Alberto Valença, Ivan Barroso, a apoiarem um Planejamento
Estratégico para o Hospital Martagão Gesteira, de modo a expandir suas
atividades e torná-lo sustentável.



O cirurgião pediátrico Emanuel Melo ficou à frente
do planejamento e de sua implementação, que hoje coloca a equipe do Martagão
como de referencia em Hospital de Ensino, no Nordeste do Brasil, em cirurgias de
alta complexidade, cardiologia, neurologia, oncologia e ortopedia, e, logo
mais,&nbsp;&nbsp;em transplantes de órgãos e assistência ao autismo.



A Liga Álvaro Bahia Contra a Mortalidade Infantil,
completou 92 anos, este ano de 2015 e o Hospital Martagão Gesteira seu primeiro
cinquentenário. Ambas entidades têm sido obras de elevado interesse público,
idealizadas e fundadas pelos rotarianos Álvaro Pontes Bahia e Martagão
Gesteira, com a ajuda de diversos outros rotarianos fundadores do Rotary Club
da Bahia, tais como Elizio Athayde, Alvaro da Franca Rocha, Durval Gama, Carlos
Costa Pinto, Álvaro Augusto da Silva, Aristides Novis, Pamphilo de Carvalho, R.
Magalhães, Clemente Mariani, Geraldo Dannemann, Norberto Odebrecht, Bráulio
Xavier e tantos outros rotarianos e baianos de escol.



Dra. Rosina Bahia, Dr. Antonio Novaes Jr e Dra.
Adriana Cardoso, lideres da Liga Alvaro Bahia, por favor se apresentem para
receber dos Presidentes rotarianos Antônio Alberto Valença e Anaci Bispo
Paim&nbsp;



a UNIDADE Rotary&nbsp;Saúde&nbsp;Móvel&nbsp;NOVO
MUNDO,&nbsp;



Trata-se de uma iniciativa pioneira do Rotary, em
apoio ao projeto do Governo do Estado da Bahia, para com a referencia em
desordens do espectro do autismo, a&nbsp;quinta unidade&nbsp;móvel&nbsp;para&nbsp;assistência&nbsp;
à&nbsp;saúde&nbsp;da população&nbsp;de&nbsp;Salvador e cidades do interior da Bahia.




Que o trabalho com o ideal de SERVIR agregue o
máximo de apoios – é o desejo destes ROTARIANOS. Todos desejam ver mais
unidades educando e tratando da saúde e promovendo o dinamismo rotário por todo
o País. Vamos agora para a Unidade Movel 3 – que catalisa ações preventivas e
educativas para o combate à tuberculose um mal que era tido como vencido e que
retorna com cepas de bactérias resistentes a antibióticos correntes.
