*The resources that guided communities through significant health challenges in 2024*
Health Books International provides books, downloads and tools at cost-price, where resources are limited. Our health materials are sourced from a variety of publishers and are clearly written, illustrated and relevant to the many health workers worldwide who operate with limited access to electricity and reliable internet connections, sophisticated equipment, or medicines.
Our resources are available to order - and some to download - on our online shop. If your organisation or initiative would benefit from low-cost materials, please do browse our collections - and help us spread the word!

*The life-changing resources that inspired our readers in 2024*
*Primary Mothercare and Population*

Author Maurice King (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/nov/15/maurice-king-obituary), who died last year aged 97, was a doctor and writer who devoted his career to improving medical care for the world's poor, and this powerful book is testament to his lasting impact.
