What We Do
Information Resources
AED-SATELLIFE strengthens the global health community by facilitating dialogue
and disseminating relevant information on the world's most urgent health
topics.
Building strong health care delivery systems in resource-poor countries
requires reliable data and knowledge management tools. Policy makers, planners,
program and resource managers, and health practitioners need up-to-date,
relevant information to make sound decisions on a daily basis.
Our services -- all free of charge -- focus on issues of particular concern
in resource-poor areas of the world. Using email and the World Wide Web,
AED-SATELLIFE enables the exchange of information for decision-making through:
-
Discussion groups on urgent health topics that support daily
communication with colleagues
-
Publications featuring current, reliable public health and
clinical content
-
GetWeb, a tool that enables users to obtain useful web page
content via email
HealthNet Knowledge Networks
AED-SATELLIFE created and supports HealthNet knowledge networks in six
countries. These locally owned and managed organizations provide a variety
of services to their local health communities, including free or low-cost
email, computer literacy training, health data collection, and information
resources. AED-SATELLIFE works with each site to build their capacity to
become self-sustaining and to support diverse technology and information
initiatives driven by local needs.
