Online resources on health financing in Africa
----------------------------------------------

Dear All,

We have lately received some enquiries from young to mid-career 
health professionals seeking pointers to resources on the broad sub-
jects of Health Insurance, Community and Mutual Health Organisations 
and Health Care Financing in Africa.

We have used the opportunity to initiate an online database of re-
sources on the subject categories and thought we might share our 
early results with members of your list. 

Please note that some of the resources listed are indeed annotated 
bibliographies containing numerous online and offline references.

We're glad to receive your inputs and would upgrade the database at 
our web page:
http://www.expage.com/chpssfinancingresources

as more information become available.
