HIPNET - Health Information and Publications Network

Health Information and Publications Network (HIPNET) is a mission-driven partnership that addresses a key public health need for access to technical health information and innovative information technologies that strengthen the performance and sustainability of health care programs, organizations, and services around the world. HIPNet facilitates collaboration among organizations that produce and disseminate print and electronic information in the field of international health. Through quarterly meetings, bi-annual conferences, an online resource center, an email forum and other activities, HIPNet ensures that member investments in health information materials and technologies are efficient, effective, and widely used. HIPNET is funded by the United States Agency for International Development.

Next HIPNet Meeting: September 10, 2008 (place to be announced).
