2008-15 Challenge: Health students
Health students in the world’s poorest countries are asking for help. Their libraries are starved of cash; many have limited if any internet connection; and textbooks are in short supply. As a result, many students are unable to pass their exams and fulfil their dreams to be a doctor, a nurse, a midwife, or an allied health professional.

HIFA 2008 Challenge – Literature review
What are the information needs of health students in low-income countries? The HIFA 2008 Challenge working group has started a literature review to answer this question. The results are now available on a dedicated page in the HIFA2015 Knowledge Base.
HIFA2015 activities during 2008, including the HIFA Students Now! campaign, were financially supported by the British Medical Association.
