HIFA participated in a webinar organized in partnership between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Dgroups, a non-profit partnership of UN agencies, bilateral agencies and NGOs that supports 700 communities of practice for international development (including the HIFA forums).

HIFA is collaborating with researchers from Nagasaki University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to conduct a systematic review to learn about how primary healthcare workers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) obtain information during consultations to aid prescribing.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help identify interventional or observational studies of regarding use of healthcare information tools or aids during consultations, focusing on primary healthcare workers in LMIC settings.

My name is Jennifer Kizza and I began working as a Desk Officer for Healthcare Information For All (HIFA) in March of 2017. As a Desk Officer, I assist HIFA with tasks such as membership recruitment, financial support, and collaborations with other organizations. On April 24th 2018, Dr. David Musoke (Lecturer and Researcher at Makerere University School of Public Health – MakSPH) and I gave a presentation about HIFA at MakSPH in Kampala, Uganda. I have to extend many thanks to Dr.

Our congratulations to Gladys Dadzie who represented HIFA and her organisation Your Health Matters Ghana at the International Nursing Leadership Conference, held in Lagos, Nigeria from 23rd to 27th April 2018. She is now a Nurse Leader, a prestigious accolade on the international front which empowers nurses to break international barriers in their quest to provide Health Services.
