The document discusses HINARI, a WHO portal that provides access to full-text biomedical and health literature for institutions in developing countries. It launched in 2002 to support the UN Millennium Development Goals. HINARI is available to eligible institutions in over 100 low and middle-income countries based on factors like GNI and HDI. The portal contains over 13,000 journals, 29,000 eBooks and other resources. While registration provides the most access, some links and databases can be used without membership. Training resources are available to help partners in developing countries make better use of HINARI.
