Hesperian has always worked with partners around the world to make our resources available in many languages, and recently we have been especially focusing on expanding the availability of our resources in French and in local languages for West Africa by strengthening our partnerships with grassroots organizations in the region and increasing the number of translations of our materialsÂ available in those languages.

I’m happy to share that 6 chapters in French from the New Where There Is No Doctor are newly available in our free HealthWiki (http://en.hesperian.org/hhg/Healthwiki ). Each chapter provides information that community health workers and educators in West Africa and other French speaking countries can use to build lasting good health in their communities

Chapters include:
