Network for the Improvement of World Health is releasing a series of working papers and policy briefs on critical global health issues. These papers will span the theory and practice of global health in our core areas of work, including rural healthcare outreach and Information Communications Technology in the health sector. We look forward to your comments on our papers. Please send all comments to Kaakpema Yelpaala, the President of Network, at kyelpaala@niworldhealth.org.
