[Virginia Barbour, Executive Officer, AOASG]

Dear Thomas and colleagues,
Some of you on this list may be interested in continuing this discussion on
the HIFA group - which has discussed a number of times issues specifically
related to access to health information globally ie not just in the more

The website where you can sign up is here
www.hifa.org
and I've cced Neil Packenham Walsh, who is its coordinator
Best wishes
Ginny
