The Global Academy for Women's Health, Inc., is a non-profit organization with a mission to advance education and science for women's health globally. The Academy integrates multiple prior non-profit activities of the founders and managers of BioSciCon, Inc. continuing its legacy to work for public benefit improving women's health and saving women's lives. The Academy was incorporated in the State of Maryland in June of 2007 and is located in Rockville, MD, USA. The Global Academy for Women’s Health, organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes, qualifies as exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any further federal tax code. In the field of education, the Academy is dedicated to develop high quality professional and public educational programs e.g., organizing and conducting public discussion groups, forums, lectures and workshops, offering in-class and on-line educational courses, and publishing educational and scientific material (brochures, newsletters, scientific papers, books). Conducting surveys to assess public opinion on certain crucial and controversial issues of women’s health is also a part of this program. The Academy will make efforts to help the advancement of women's health education courses at colleges and universities and local communities. The founder is an experienced medical school and university professor including Women's Health curricula. The advancement of science in the field of women's health is also a dedication of the Global Academy. This includes supporting scientific research leading to public benefit by developing better technologies for early detection, prevention and diagnosis of diseases, which will be made available to women globally. Prevention of gynecological malignancies will be the most immediate goal, since thousands of women still die each year of diseases that could be easily prevented. For example, cervical cancer is a completely preventable disease if detected on time. Yet regretfully, half a million women develop cervical cancer each year and about 250,000 women die. These are somebody's mother, daughters, sisters, spouse, grandmothers or friends who unnecessary suffer and die from a grave disease. The Global Academy for Women’s Health hopes to make a difference. In 2007, the Academy has supported Drs.
Markovic to prepare a manuscript “What every woman should know
about cervical cancer” for
a leading international publisher, Springer. The book will be available
in July 2008. Please visit: |
