Dear Purity,
Thank you so much for stepping up as our volunteer HIFA catalyst for the new journal The Lancet Regional Health – Africa.
HIFA has a long association with The Lancet and several Lancet staff are members of HIFA.
We have about 5000 members registered in Africa, so I am quite excited about how this will work.
We shall monitor the journal over the coming months and forward relevant papers to HIFA. We shall be looking out especially for papers relating to knowledge translation and the availability and use of reliable healthcare information across Africa.
With best wishes, Neil
