Information
Partnerships in Health Information (Phi) is a UK
based charity seeking to raise the capacity of health science
librarians in developing countries to enable them to work with
other health professionals and tailor health services to the needs
of professionals working in the health sector. African governments
in particular face daunting health problems with limited resources
to tackle them. It is therefore essential that they adopt
solutions that are based on good information and use proven and
cost-effective interventions in their programmes. By creating and
supporting health library partnerships, such as the Kenyan
partnership, Phi aims to contribute to improving the health of
disadvantaged populations through the flow of timely, relevant and
reliable health information.
This article is based on a presentation given as
part of an IFMH and Libraries for Nursing session on Information
Literacy at the Umbrella 2007 Conference.
