Blue Trunk Libraries

Few months past, i visited Sweden, there i came to know about WHO's BLUE TRUNK LIBRARIES that is what i wish to share with you.

The Blue Trunk Library has been developed by the Library of the World Health Organization for installation in district health centres in Africa as a means of compensating for the lack of up-to-date medical and health information.

The collection, which is organized according to major subjects, contains more than one hundred books on medicine and public health.
