20. “There is a huge inequality in the developing world regarding access to health information and HINARI levels the playing field. But still there has been little culture of using HINARI as a resource for research, so training and experience is needed. HINARI has to be around for a long while before the results will really be seen in terms of a culture of learning” School of Tropical Medicine, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

22. Training Empowers Users • “I learnt Evidence Based Medicine which I advocate for in our department so HINARI has been a wonderful complementary tool for finding the evidence for most of the clinical situations we meet at the wards. We are all very thankful for this. The trainees can now independently search for articles” • Stephen GichuhiLecturer, University of NairobiKenya
