Global Health completes the picture of international medical and health research by capturing key literature not covered in other databases, including 'grey literature.'
It is the ideal resource for academics, scientists and researchers, public health and environmental health practitioners, clinicians and dieticians, epidemiologists, diagnostic personnel and infection control staff, information managers, policy makers, and librarians, and governmental departments, NGOs and multinational corporations.
In today's global environment no professional can afford to be unaware of world-wide developments. Outbreaks of SARS, chikungunya fever and avian influenza have highlighted the threat that the growth of international travel and migration poses for the global spread of disease. To cope with this threat it is vital that professionals have access to international research.
Global Health is the core source for this key literature not covered by other databases. While a large proportion of material is from the public health arena, making Global Health the essential public health database, it also provides unique information on a wide range of biomedical topics through its international reach.
