Do all hospitals have a medical librarian?

16 May, 2019

Dear All,

I am interested to know if hospitals, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries have medical librarians on their staff? I would like to know if humanitarian workers would be able to access medical librarians in the emergency areas where they work.

I hope this wonderful forum can advise me.

With best wishes, from,

Caroline
