<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">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.<span>
</span>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.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">All tools and resources are
available through Hesperian’s website: <a href="http://www.hesperian.org/digital-commons/" target="_blank">www.hesperian.org/digital-commons/</a>
and the iTunes Apple Store: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6toftv6" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/6toftv6</a>.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Please distribute widely!</span></p>
