-------------------- forwarded message from india --------------------- From: "MR.A.MALPANI" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: India's first Health Education Library ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We are a non-profit organisation of health care professionals. In order to improve the care we provide to our community , we have started India's first Health Education Library for Patients , as described in the WHO journal, WHO Forum . One of our priorities is patient and health education, since we firmly believe that the best patients are well informed patients, who can take care of their own health. We are a 1000 square foot facility in the heart of Bombay and a free access public service. We have over 3000 books, 7000 brochures and videos and CD-ROMs on consumer health. However, we are still short of funds ( for example, we need a xerox machine) and would be very grateful if you could send us details of organisations who could provide us with additional funding. We also need books, magazines and newsletters on consumer health and would be grateful if you could send these. The cheapest way to ship is by 4th class book rate. We look forward to making good use of your help and guidance in order to improve the care and services we provide to our community ! Thanking you for your kindness, DR.A.N. MALPANI, M.D. Medical Director.
