About Us

Behind The Scenes

In compliance with the United States international laws and the State of Massachusetts general laws, the laws of the countries we are going to operate, the Community United For Health And Prevention doing business as CUFHAP will engage in the following activities.

We will coordinate the programs with other international Health Organizations participating in the project to do the following:


  • Training of technicians: We will train them to do accurate blood pressure.
  • We will provide free blood pressure screening in the State of Massachusetts and in Countries where we are going to implement the ZIKA virus program. The target population will be shelters, churches, jails, and other places.
  • Refer the cases of high blood pressure and low blood pressure to appropriate health care providers.


The Community United For Health And Prevention has two subdivisions: IPOZIKAMDE (International project for ZIKA mosquito disease eradication) and IPOZIKAVV (International project for ZIKA virus vaccination.

IPOZIKAMDE activities:
  • Training of technicians: We will provide the technician's information about how to use insecticides.
  • With The Governments approval, we will spray the public places first with appropriate insecticides approved by EPA. We will target Governments building,schools, churches.
  • Under the residents informed consent and signature with the Government approval, we will relocate the residents from their respective household for two days. This intervention will be implemented following the client informed consent and signature as well the support of the governments of the countries.

    Information: the residents will return to their respective household in about two days following the intervention. The IPOZIKAMDE intervention is intended to kill the mosquito hiding in the shadow of houses waiting to bite.The IPOZIKAMDE will be done simultaneously in each city of the State from the border to the center and from the center to the border. The goal is to prevent the mosquito living in the cities to fly to the neighboring countries. We will then contain the mosquitoes to the forest where they belong.
IPOZIKAVV activities:

The Community United For Health And Prevention will operate under the CDC guidelines and the Laws of the Countries to implement the IPOZIKAVV( International project of ZIKA mosquito disease vaccination) program. We will coordinate with other world Health care Organizations participating in the program to implement the global vaccination campaign. We will then do the following:


  • Training of technicians: We will make the technicians competent enough in a short period of time to inject a vaccine under aseptic conditions and follow the CDC guidelines.
  • Implement the global vaccination campaign together with other World Health care organizations

    Information: The IPOZIKAVV intervention will help people develop antibodies against the ZIKA virus. We will implement the program under CDC guidelines. The intervention will be done following the client informed consent and signature as well as Government approval.

    Both projects IPOZIKAMDE and IPOZIKAVV combined are the perfect choices to decrease the incidence of the ZIKA virus epidemic around the world.
Research Activities:
  • Studying the survivors of the ZIKA virus infection

    The Community United For Health And Prevention will study the children with microcephaly survivors of the ZIKA virus infection. We will compare them with children with microcephaly born from non-infected mothers. We will study their knowledge, attitudes beliefs, and behavior in order to find them a good place in our society.


  • Program Evaluation Research

    The Community United For Health And Prevention will design a program evaluation research aiming at studying the success of both programs IPOZIKAMDE and IPOZIKAVV.


  • Epidemiological studies

    The Community United For Health And Prevention incorporated will design epidemiological studies such as retrospective cohort studies and prospective cohort studies in order to study in depth the ZIKA virus.


  • Sero-prevalence survey research and surveillance.

    CDC has already a sero-prevalence program. Every week, they publish the number of new cases of pregnant women infected by the ZIKA virus. Their source of information is Pregnancy Registries. They also report every week the number of new cases of the ZIKA virus. Source: ZIKA virus cases reported to Arbonet. We will continue to follow the weekly report of the CDC in the United States and we will implement a sero-prevalence and surveillance program abroad and we will report to CDC.
Education

CDC has already in place an education program for travelers, education of pregnant women, and sexual transmission of the ZIKA virus. All that we have to do is to continue to follow the education program of the CDC and increase the people's awareness about the ZIKA virus epidemic.

Programs
  • Eradication: We will kill as many mosquitoes as we can in order to not only decrease the incidence of the ZIKA virus infection among the human species but also to prevent for a long period of time the spread of other Mosquitoes-borne diseases.


  • Vaccination: When a vaccine becomes available, the Community United For Health, Incorporated will participate to its fullest extent in the Global vaccination Campaign. The intervention will help the human species develop antIbody to the ZIKA virus.


  • Research Study: To confirm the symbiotic union of the Mosquito ( Aesdes Egyptae) and Aedes ( Albopictus) with pregnant females and the ZIKA virus, The CUFHAP team will design Epidemiologic research studies such as prospective cohort study, retrospective cohort study, sero-prevalence survey research in both the infected people and the general population. Other Research study designs will involve other mosquito-borne diseases.


  • Finally, The Community United for Health and Prevention, Incorporated will study over time the ZIKAN ( ZIKAN: a new word created by the Community united for Health And Prevention). It means the new human species population created by the symbiotic union of the mosquito Aedes, the pregnant woman, and the ZIKA virus. We will study their knowledge, attitude, beliefs, and behavior. We will compare the knowledge, attitude, beliefs, and behavior of other children in the same group.


  • DEVELOPING STRATEGIES AIMING AT ERADICATING THE SPREAD OF THE ZIKA VIRUS AND OTHER MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASES. As we mentioned in our latest post, The Community United For Health, Incorporated will work jointly with the American Government, CDC (Center for Disease Control), WHO ( World Health Organization), UN (United Nations) NIH (National Institute of Health, The Office of Special Projects of Boston University School Health, USAID (US Agency for International Development, FDA ( Food And Drugs Administration, PHAO ( PAN American Health Organization, The World Bank, US Department of Health And Human Services, The Governments of South America, Latin America, The Caribbean, the West Indies, Other Countries, and the Media. We will coordinate our effort to work jointly with Countries affected by the Mosquito Vector of the ZIKA Virus and other Countries where the Mosquito-Borne diseases are endemic in order to obtain data. The Governments of Countries will provide these data to CUFHAP and The Community United For Health And Prevention will submit the data to CDC.


We will operate in the Following: UNITED States of America ( Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Texas), Brazil (Pilot) Columbia, Honduras, Porto-Rica, Martinique, El SALVADOR, Haiti, and other Countries Affected by the ZIKA VIRUS, other Countries where the Zika Virus and other Mosquito-borne diseases are endemic.
