Dear list members
I am writing this as an associate editor of Midwifery journal. The journal has been signed up to agreements with a wide range of funders globally, and to Hinari for a substantial number of years. This means that authors coming from the low income countries covered by the agreement do not pay fees for their paper to be open access. Please see the webpage for more details and more information below.

Strengthening the knowledge base on quality of care - an overview of Hinari: Research for Health Global Learning Laboratory for Quality UHC
Overview:
Advancing on the promise of universal health coverage (UHC) requires access to critical information to strengthen the knowledge base around quality. Access to information on quality of care has the potential to inform the delivery of evidence-based health services and improve health systems worldwide. Despite this, a majority of frontline workers, particularly those in low and middle-income countries, encounter barriers to accessing critical healthcare related information. To address this gap, the WHO Hinari Access to Research for Health Programme was launched in January 2002 to offer free and low cost online access to the major journals in biomedical and related social sciences to local, not-for-profit institutions in developing countries.
This 90 minute training webinar will provide an overview of the WHO programme, Hinari Access to Research for Health. Interactive exercises will be utilized to engage participants. Search strategies pertaining to quality of care will also be explored for those without access to Hinari.
Learning Objectives:
The training webinar will allow participants to:
Learn about the Hinari Access to Research for Health programme; Orient participants to the functionality of the Hinari portal; Explain how to retrieve information relating to evidence-based practice and quality of care to improve service delivery at the front line; Identify search strategies pertaining to quality of care using various scientific search engines.
Intended audience:
Frontline workers, Administrators, Policy-makers
