Dear David, This is indeed an excellent list of discussion groups. For those with an interest in health in low- and middle-income countries, I would like to add HIFA2015 and our other four HIFA forums (below). I would welcome other recommendations of health groups, especially in global health. The information on health groups is highly fragmented and confusing to users. Is anyone (other than David) doing anything to try to make it easier for users to know what is and what isn't available in the area of professional discussion groups on health issues? Especially in global health / health care in low and middle income countries? Best wishes, Neil Dr Neil Pakenham-Walsh MB,BS, DCH, DRCOG Coordinator, HIFA2015 and CHILD2015 Co-director, Global Healthcare Information Network Chair, Dgroups Foundation Corner House, Market St Charlbury, Oxfordshire OX7 3PN, UK Tel: +44 (0)1608 811899 Email: <mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask] HIFA2015: http://www.hifa2015.org Skype: neilpw1 Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/hifa2015 Join HIFA2015, CHILD2015, HIFA-Portuguese, HIFA-EVIPNet-French, HIFA-Zambia: www.hifa2015.org "Healthcare Information For All by 2015: By 2015, every person worldwide will have access to an informed healthcare provider" With thanks to our 2012 Financial Supporting Organisations: British Medical Association (main funder), Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, Commonwealth Nurses Federation, European Association of Senior Hospital Physicians (AEMH), European Federation of Salaried Doctors (FEMS), Global Health Media Project, Haiti Nursing Foundation, International Child Health Group (Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health), International Clinical Epidemiology Network, Joanna Briggs Institute, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Mother and Child Health and Education Trust, Network for Information and Digital Access, Partnerships in Health Information, Public Library of Science, Royal College of Midwives, Royal College of Nursing, UnitedHealth Chronic Disease Initiative.
