"The HINARI program, set up by the World Health Organization (WHO) together with major publishers, enables developing countries to gain access to one of the world's largest collections of biomedical and health literature. Over 3070 journal titles are now available [either free or at low cost] to health institutions in 113 countries, benefiting many thousands of health workers and researchers, and in turn, contributing to improved world health."
Eligibility: "Local, not-for-profit institutions in two groups of countries may register for access to the journals through HINARI. The country lists are based on Gross National Product (GNP) per capita (World Bank figures, 2001). Institutions in countries with GNP per capita below $1000 (Phase 1) are eligible for free access. Institutions in countries with GNP per capita between $1000-$3000 (Phase 2) pay a fee of $1000 per year per institution. If your country is a Phase 2 country, and you cannot or choose not to pay the fee, your institution will still be eligible for free access to a certain number of [major scientific] journals."
