Medilinks
mission is to help strengthen and improve the delivery of
healthcare in Africa.
Medilinks
recognises a large amount of information applicable to
developing nations, ranging from public health to specialist
medical information is available in electronic form at a number
of western institutions. Although these institutions are willing
to share this information with their African counterparts
there aren't enough resources in place to effectively share
this information.
Medilinks will act as a central point of medical and health
related knowledge about Africa. It will provide a medium for
the forecasting of important issues and trends in medicine
and health care in Africa as well as improving public health
in Africa by elevating the quality of medical care, disease
prevention, and research provided by an informed readership.
For decades, African healthcare professionals
have been generating valuable research and knowledge in respect
of their regional, national and local areas. With the near
collapse of a number of African economies, medical professionals
have found avenues such as traditional publishing research
and subscribing to medical journals, holding conferences or
workshops to exchange ideas far too expensive and much of
this information has been locked away.
Medilinks will promote the exchange of health information
in Africa by publishing original, important, well-documented,
peer-reviewed articles on a diverse range of health and medical
topics.
