The WHO Blue Trunk Libraries have been developed by the library of the World Health Organization for installation in district health centres in Africa as a means of compensating for the lack of up-to-date medical and health information. Among the works chosen, priority has been given to practical manuals (especially those published by WHO) offering easily accessible solutions to the medical, public health and management problems medical staff may have to face. These pages provide information about the project including:
- background
- costs
- contents
- requirements
- training
- participating countries
- regional databases
- ‘liason, the library newsletter
