Short Bio:
Activity: This year, the celebration of World Orofacial Myofunctional Sciences Day focused on raising awareness about breathing during sleep with the motto #BreatheWellSleepBetter and the importance of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy as a treatment for Sleep Respiratory Disorders. From the Colombian Association of Sleep Medicine (ACMES) Antioquia Section, we conducted a radio campaign to reach the community through community radio, delivering this important message about the significance of good sleep.
We celebrated the World Orofacial Myofunctional Sciences Day 2024, #WOMSD2024, with a special radio program broadcasted on 94.9 Radio Universidad de Pamplona, spreading awareness about the importance of breathing well for better sleep. This is the first of a series of programs where we will address various sleep disorder topics, aiming to align with the purpose of celebrating World Sleep Day #WorldSleepDay2024 “Sleep equity for global health”.
Our goal is to inspire individuals from various fields, including speech therapy students and patients, to prioritize their sleep health. Here is our contribution:
– Dr. Eliana Rivera, Orofacial Myofunctional Specialist
– Dr. Francia Arboleda, Orofacial Myofunctional Specialist
– Dr. Gloria Marin, Orofacial Myofunctional Specialist
– Dr. Eduardo Henao, Otolaryngologist, MS
– Dr. Claudia Díaz, Pulmonologist, MS
– Dr. Andrés Franco, Neurologist, MS
– Dr. Natalia Colorado, Master in Dental Sleep Medicine
We discussed the benefits of TMO therapy, its importance for patients with sleep respiratory disorders, and the need for trained staff in sleep clinics. As leaders of the Antioquia Section of ACMES, a group of sleep medicine specialists in Antioquia, Colombia, we believe that by promoting the importance of sleep for global health, we can contribute to a more equitable world. Let’s collectively prioritize our sleep and encourage others to do the same. This is our mission! “Sleep equity for global health.” Happy World Orofacial Myofunctional Science Day February 17, 2024 🌟🌍🛌🌙
