Bad decisions for global health.

摘要

Lack of access to knowledge is the main limitation to human development. Since WHO's Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI) was launched in 2002, 137 publishers have provided content from 7000 journals free to local, non-profit institutions in 105 eligible countries. In 2010 alone, according to Kimberly Parker (WHO's HINARI programme manager), 400 new journals were added to the network. HINARI offers the opportunity of access to hitherto inaccessible knowledge for the most resource-poor countries in the world.
