Alternative Medicine Professor, Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi, Launches International Wellness Hotline
Royal College of Alternative Medicine (RCAM) Sets Up International Wellness Hotline for Those Without Medical or Health Insurance
(PRWEB) November 1, 2004
Almost 50 Million Americans currently lack Health Insurance, and more are now living in poverty, show figures from the US Census Bureau last week. These exceedingly shocking figures do not include Illegal Immigrants, who (due to poor living and lifestyle conditions) are at greater risk of developing (and transmitting) complications from relatively simple illnesses.
The data, which are based on a comparison between 2002 and 2003, show that for the first time since 1995 women’s average income fell and also that the ratio of women’s earnings to men’s earnings fell.
The number of people living below the 'Poverty Level' in the United States (based on an annual income of $18810 or less ; for a family of four) increased from 34.6 million to 35.9 million.
Premiums have also risen as the cost of insurance has risen, and workers are also paying more in “Co-Payments,” (the portion of doctors’ fees and prescription charges they have to pay themselves) : This is particularly hard for those who earn less than $50000 a year.
'American-Trained' RCAM (Royal College of Alternative Medicine) Provost, Professor Joseph Chikelue Obi (USMLE/FSMB ID : 0-618-064-0 ) is therefore exceedingly proud to announce the setting up of an 'International Wellness Hotline' to ethically assist those who just can't afford to get appropriate advice for easily curable ailments.
Key Features of the RCAM System
*All 'Wellness Consultants' have (at one time) successfully obtained an Accredited Medical Degree which is approved and validated by the World Health Organization (WHO).
*All 'Wellness Consultants' have (at one time) successfully passed Steps 1 , 2 and 3 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), inclusive of the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) Test. The USMLE Step 3 and CSA broadly place them at par with the 'Average Physician' in the USA. USMLE Step 3 is administered by the FSMB (Federation of State Medical Boards).
*All 'Wellness Consultants' are currently Fully Licensed as Qualified Medical Practitioners in at least one of the Member States of the United Nations ; and also hold membership of the World Medical Association (WMA) , in addition to various other relevant qualifications in Public Health and Health Promotion. They are also 'Computer-Literate' , with an excellent command of English Language. They have also visited the USA many times ; and are fully conversant with the American Healthcare System. The core difference is that they currently live abroad where the overheads (Malpractise Lawsuits and Taxes) are much lower than in the USA.
*All 'Wellness Consultants' continuously visit the USA for Continuing Medical Education (CME) Credits ; and also undergo 'Annual Independent Revalidation'.
*All Clients are assured of Total Confidentiality, without the need for the caller to actually provide their real name ; as the Callers also take complete responsibility for the call, and fully indemnify us of any consequences thereof.
*90% of all 'Chronic Health Enquiries' are easily solved over the phone within 10 minutes, and all the Client needs to do is visit his (or her) Local Pharmacy and purchase a Simple (Non-Prescription) Remedy. This also gives the Client a futher opportunity to discuss their concerns with any of the Duty Pharmacists. ( A further 'Safety Net' in the RCAM System ).
*Specific Clients may sometimes also be referred to a Licensed Medical Practitioner or a nearby 'Wellness Center' for appropriate tests and interventions.
*Please Note that this service is not for 'Life-Threatening Emergencies', which should be appropriately handled by your Local Acute Service ; and neither is it intended to replace the expert professional guidance of a Licensed Physician.
