We are sending this announcement from the official launch today of HIFA2015-Portuguese (HIFA-pt) in Maputo, Mozambique. 40 health information professionals from Portuguese-speaking countries worldwide have gathered here for the 2nd Coordination Meeting of the Biblioteca Virtual em Saude / ePORTUGUESe.
HIFA-pt is the first HIFA2015 forum in a language other than English. HIFA-pt is a campaign and knowledge network with the same goal as HIFA2015 - Informação em saúde para todos. Our focus is on the 240 million people who live in the 8 Portuguese-speaking countries: Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome e Principe, and Timor Leste.
HIFA-pt already has more than 350 members! For more information and how to join, see www.hifa2015.org/hifa-pt
On behalf of all in Maputo.
