Dear HIFA members,
I would like to remind you that the 2019 BMA Information Fund is now open for applications. The fund provides health information and educational materials to health-focused organisations in low-income countries.
We work in partnership with Health Books International to provide resources that are tailored to the specific education and training needs of health workers operating in low-resource settings. Materials available include books, practical guides and tools, DVDs and CDs.
Since 2000, we have provided over 300 donations of books and other information materials to organisations in 70 countries worldwide. Our donations span the globe, focussing on low-income countries in Africa and Asia as well as island states, which face significant health challenges.
Have a look at our webpage for more information on the initiatives we have previously supported and information on how to apply. The application deadline is 8 November 2019, but applications are capped at 100 so early application is encouraged!
