“As participants learn, they find they want to change bad habits,” says Viviane Mukakarara, family planning and maternal and child health coordinator with IntraHealth in Rwanda. Mukakarara is responsible for organizing provider trainings in emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) in the four districts supported by the USAID-funded IntraHealth HIV/AIDS Clinical Services Program (HCSP).

Recognizing the urgent need to improve the availability and use of information on health care in developing countries, IntraHealth International recently joined the online campaign and knowledge network called Health Information for All (HIFA2015). HIFA2015, which is coordinated by the UK-based Global Healthcare Information Network, has more than 3,000 individual members representing 1,800 organizations in 150 countries worldwide. This campaign was launched in October 2006 in Kenya at the 10th Congress of the Association for Health Information and Libraries in Africa.
