Entretien avec Dr Karine Sévère sur l'accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC)

Un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC),appelé des fois et surtout autrefois accident cérébro-vasculaire (ACV) et populairement appelé attaque cérébrale, infarctus cérébral ou congestion cérébrale, est une défaillance neurologique soudaine d'origine vasculaire causée par un infarctus ou une hémorragie au niveau du cerveau.

Les médecins anglophones l'appelent CVA et plus couramment stroke.

 Le terme « accident » dénote l'aspect soudain ou brutal des symptômes.

 Dr Karine Sévère va passer en revue avec nous cette maladie qui semble faire tache d'huile dansl les pays en voie de développement tel Haiti et dont --dans la plupart des cas-- les causes sont internes (liées à l'âge, l'alimentation ou l'hygiène de vie, notamment).

 Cet entretien a lieu originalement sur Radio Francophonie Connexion Bonne écoute!

Dr Henri Ford , of Haitian Origin, is the New Dean for Miami Miller School of Medicine


After many years of excellence and perseverance  in his carrier as a pediatric surgeon, Dr Henri Ford became in March 2018 the new dean for UM. This achievement is representative of the success that brought Haitian immigrants with them to far from their country of origin.



A graduate of Harvard Medical school and a former trainee at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Dr Ford had been over the past 13 years the vice president and chief of surgery for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
<<As I reflect on my journey in American medicine, I truly feel I’ve been preparing all my life to assume a role like this one.>> –Dr Ford to Miami Herald

Dr Ford remains bound to his country Haiti.  He has been several times to Haiti to help provide care, train doctors there. According to someone who had contacted him after the Haiti quake, Dr Ford is an easy-going guy, amicable, who takes time to respond to his phone calls.

Dr Ford seems to have, as the new dean, a broad vision for MU, which has shown its dedication to Haiti, especially in the aftermath of the 2010 quake that killed close to 300,000 people and also injured more than 200,000 while leaving many without housings and shelters.

Haiti Connexion Network  wishes the best to Dr Henri Ford!
