To reduce the morbidity and mortality rate with priority in heart diseases, in the low-income population of the city of Valencia, in the Barrio Central, through a project that consists of: Specialized diagnosis, through Diagnostic Medical Ultrasounds, electrocardiography and the implementation of a Regenerative Medicine Program, for the prevention of diseases.
This requires the acquisition of a three-transducer ultrasound and an ECG device for electrocardiograms, which allow progress from the consultation stage to the specialized diagnosis and subsequent treatment of diseases.
Patients who go to public hospitals do not have the resources to undergo specialized tests and in most cases the diagnoses constitute a death sentence.
According to the Ministry of People's Power for Health, until 2018, the percentages of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in our country are:
• 30% cardiovascular diseases
• 16% Cancer
• 11% Transmissible diseases
• 19% maternal, perinatal and nutritional
• 12% Injuries
• 4% Chronic respiratory diseases
• 8% Diabetes.
The areas that can be covered with the acquisition of diagnostic medical ultrasound equipment are:
• Cardiac ultrasound
• Abdominal and urological ultrasound
• Breast ultrasound
• Muscle or tendon ultrasound
• Cervical and thyroid ultrasound
• Transrectal ultrasound
• Transvaginal ultrasound
With the electrocardiogram (ECG) equipment, the following cardiac pathologies can be detected:
• Arrhythmias
• Heart disease
• Coronary artery disease
• Heart failure
• Heart valve disease
• Congenital heart defects
One of the most relevant aspects of this project lies in the implementation of the Regenerative Medicine Program, which promotes the improvement of the physical and mental conditions of the participants.
The implementation of the project includes: consultation, specialized diagnosis, dental care, application of traumatological procedures and a regenerative medicine program. Comprehensive patient care, allowing the beneficiaries of the project to regain their health, increasing their life expectancy and their integration into productive activities, reducing the morbidity and mortality rate in low-income communities.
