Dear friends,



I’m writing to share some exciting news! Hesperian Health Guides, publisher
of the landmark book Where There Is No Doctor, is launching a new suite of
digital tools designed especially for community health workers and trainers.
The Hesperian Digital Commons provides free access to life-saving health
information in 26 languages, and empowers communities to become producers
of health materials that meet their needs rather than consumers of
one-size-fits-all content.



Responding to and leveraging the explosion of digital technology –
particularly mobile phone technology – even in the world’s most remote
areas, the Digital Commons features an interactive Safe Pregnancy and Birth
iPhone app in Hesperian’s friendly, accessible style, along with a
HealthWiki well-suited for slow or intermittent internet connections. And,
after decades of hearing stories of health workers cutting and pasting text
from the health guides and tracing illustrations to create posters and
flyers, Hesperian and technology partner UnaMesa have made thousands of
line drawings available in a searchable online image library and developed
a free on- or off-line layout program.



All tools and resources are available through Hesperian’s website:
www.hesperian.org/digital-commons/ and the iTunes Apple Store:
http://tinyurl.com/6toftv6.



Please distribute widely!
