The East and Southern Africa Health Library builds on our general Health Collection, offering localized resources relevant to health students and professionals working in the region. Some examples of these resources include census reports and data tables for Malawi, country-specific COVID-19 impact monitoring, regional government documents, and strategic health plans and guidelines.
First implemented in partnership with Peace Corps Malawi’s Advancing Health Professionals program, the East and Southern Africa Health Library is currently being used by Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS) librarians, faculty and students, who bring the offline digital libraries with them during their clinical rotations at remote clinics and hospitals in Malawi where internet connectivity is expensive or simply unavailable.
