The K4Health Monthly

 
The Knowledge for Health (K4Health) project is a leader in health information dissemination using traditional and new media mechanisms and in facilitating information use through dynamic learning and exchange programs. We embrace the two-way information flow that Internet and mobile technology provides by utilizing innovative communication channels to engage audiences
and deliver the information they need when they need it, and in the format they prefer.

 

FEATURED STORY

Photoshare: Thousands of International Health and Development Images    

 

The launch of the new Photoshare site tops news this month at K4Health.    

 

First created in 2003 to share images that document the realities of rural and urban life in developing countries, the Photoshare site now houses almost 20,000 images. Over 65% of contributing photographers live or work in developing countries, while 65% of users requesting images live in developed countries. The new Photoshare  expands and enhances current services including new user profiles, search display with thumbnail view, and faster processing of requests.    

 

Overall, the site delivers a range of new features and interactions for requesting Photoshare images, and for photographers sharing their work for nonprofit educational use.
