AON DONATES 4 Neurology Toolkits at
$250.00(US) each to African Neurologists
In answer to a request from the World Neurology Foundation's President Michael Finkel, the AON has donated $ US
1000 for 4 Neurology Toolkits for African Neurologists. The donation was
made on May 25 2008.
The project's Tool Kits were developed to answer a dire need, expressed by
practicing African neurologists, for those tools needed to perform a
neurological examination. They include a reflex hammer, a stethoscope, a
128 HZ tuning fork, the NINDS Stroke scale, a flash light, and other
useful tools that will be distributed in a sturdy case that can be worn
like a fanny pack. See this link for more details:

active this year in warning the public and the government of the crisis in

neurological diseases in a timely and efficient fashion. The intention is
to influence the current negotiation process between the Government of
Ontario and the Ontario Medical Association such that working conditions

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE AON |
Thank you for visiting our website. It is hoped that,in time, this medium
will be used to inform the public of the concerns of neurologists in
the Province of Ontario and to act as an advocacy resource
for neurology. If you are a patient or the relative of a patient with
neurologic disease, you already know of all the frustrations that both you
and your health care providers experience on a daily basis in obtaining
services. We wish to correct this.
The Association of Ontario Neurologists (AON) intends to play a pivotal
role in advocating for better services for our patients. We would like to
see a strong community based presence of neurologists across the province
while at the same time we support a strong academic and research base in
the teaching hospitals. We are also committed to encouraging better
imaging, physiotherapy, speech therapy and electrophysiological
services(EEG,EMG etc) as well as clinics in community settings.
This will take time and patience and we will look to you ,our patients,
for as much support as we can muster to help encourage these developments.
We will shortly be contacting all patient support groups related to
neurologic diseases to join us in a powerful and effective alliance to
start the process.At the same time, we welcome
your feedback both from the point of view of the quality of services as
you see it and also your suggestions for improving the content of this
website.
Sincerely,
Ranjit Singh
AON President

Requirement for Ontario
Doctors to Report Patients With Certain Medical Conditions to the Ontario
Ministry of Transport
Nov 7 2002
Patients
and their families sometimes have difficulty understanding the Ontario
Government’s requirement that all doctors practising in Ontario must
report to the Ministry of Transportation any patients whose condition
might possibly present a hazard for operating a motor vehicle. This
relates to a long list of conditions such as blackouts, dizzy spells,
uncontrolled diabetes, epilepsy, narcolepsy, visual impairment and so on.
