Health Information and Publications Network (HIPNET) is a mission-driven partnership that addresses a key public health need for access to technical health information and innovative information technologies that strengthen the performance and sustainability of health care programs, organizations, and services around the world. HIPNet facilitates collaboration among organizations that produce and disseminate print and electronic information in the field of international health. Through quarterly meetings, bi-annual conferences, an online resource center, an email forum and other activities, HIPNet ensures that member investments in health information materials and technologies are efficient, effective, and widely used. HIPNET is funded by the United States Agency for International Development. |
Dear Colleagues,
It was great to have such a large presence at the last HIPNet meeting, both in person (31) and by phone and gotomeeting (16). Let us know how the latter went and if you have suggestions for the future.
Here are some things we mentioned at the meeting:
• If you are not on the mailing list and want to join, from the home page go the link at the top for HIPNet E-Mail List, then Join this Group. FYI, if it looks familiar, we've moved to the same electronic platform that houses the IBP Knowledge Gateway.
• If you would like to send out an announcement to the group, please send it to hipnet@my.ibpinitiative.org.
• The User's Guide to USAID/Washington Health Programs, including the Office of Population and Reproductive Health (6/09), is available on the USAID website. Peggy D'Adamo mentioned this, and it is a great reference.
Our next meeting will be in September. If you have suggestions for speakers and/or topics, please let us know. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Neha Suchack, Abt Associates, for her service as HIPNet co-chair and also welcome Katherine Williams, Population Council, as the new co-chair.
Best,
Laura Raney, FHI, lraney@fhi.org
Katherine Williams, Population Council, kwilliams@popcouncil.org
