• Partnerships in Health Information (PHI)
  The Health Libraries Group has been a supporter of Partnerships in Health Information since its beginning. PHI's purpose is to further the cause of evidence based health services internationally by nurturing long-term partnerships between library and information services in the UK and library services in developing countries. Currently such partnerships are making better health information available to people in Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya and the Chechen Autonomous Republic.
