BMJWA in promoting the HEALTH INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTRE product is committed to assisting medical and health professionals in West Africa to imbibe the culture of LIFE-LONG LEARNING by having access to the best available electronic (internet) and paper (books, journals) health information.
The considerable speed with which medical and health information is churned out from the multitude of research and development centres all over the world means that no one institution or individual can hope to amass the total quantity of the information which has become an essential tool for any credible health professional in a traditional Library.
However, the availability of both new and old medical and health information in electronic and paper forms makes it possible for governments and institutions who are genuinely interested in delivering the best possible healthcare to their people to commission and maintain units such as the "HEALTH INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTRE" in their domains.
An HEALTH INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTRE is a one-stop, customised, affordable, compact, electronic and paper Resource Centre for easy access to current, best-evidence medical and health information for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, health administrators and others , around the clock, in their place of work available and ready for use when they need the information for the benefit of their patients.
The HEALTH INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTRE is one of the items in the portfolio of C.P.D ( Continuing Professional Development) of BMJ West Africa, an organisation that specialises in the promotion of Life-long Learning for medical and health professionals for the benefit of patients.
Many forward thinking governments and institutions in West Africa are signing on to this product of HEALTH INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTRE tailored to meet their local wants and needs at affordable price in their local currency.
