FEEDBACK FROM USERS

"Greetings from the smiling coast of Africa.... Attending your HINARI and authorship course was a great experience and the effect it have on my academic life is immense. I used to struggle digging out relevant and recent articles but not any more and you know what I just cannot stopping searching. You empowered me and my colleagues and in doing so you gave me a new hobby and thank you very much. Please tell HINARI the only way this very important tool can be use to maximum is training people, before this training I found it very difficult to find my way. Thank your once again for empowering me and my colleagues."
