HIFA2015 Email Forum
“Healthcare Information For All by 2015 is an ambitious goal but it can be achieved if all stakeholders work together.”
Dr Tikki Pang, Director, Research Policy and Cooperation, World Health Organization, Geneva
The HIFA2015 Email Forum is the main communication tool to bring all HIFA2015 members together around our common goal. The focus is on the information and learning needs of healthcare providers in developing countries, especially where the needs are greatest: households and communities, primary health workers, and health professionals working in small district hospitals.
