CHILD2015: Child Healthcare Information and Learning Discussion group
CHILD2015 is a new global email discussion group on the information and

workers, and health professionals working in district hospital
facilities.
The CHILD2015 goal is linked with the Millennium Development Goals: "BY
2015, EVERY CHILD WORLDWIDE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AN INFORMED HEALTHCARE
PROVIDER"
CHILD2015 is managed and moderated by Global Healthcare Information
Network (www.ghi-net.org) and the International Child Health Group
(www.ichg.org.uk). You can be assured that all messages that you receive
will be relevant, readable, and understandable.
CHILD2015 is open to anyone with an interest in improving child
healthcare
in developing countries and membership is free. Join today by sending an
