In the spirt of Making Poverty History, Live 8 etc. I wonder if you have
a couple of minutes to read an idea I have had for a while.
According to an article on SARS and medical libraries in Hong Kong in an
issue of Update a year or so ago the fight against the disease was so
severe that medical publications with relevant material were put online
for nothing so that researchers could pool their knowledge and
resources. We don't hear much about SARS these days so why not apply the
same principle to the AIDS problem? I know there are vested interests,
buy hey there always are, aren't there.
Did you know that 12 million children are now AIDS orphans in Africa?
Maybe the information community could do something to increase the
chances of finding a cure?
