Cuba's Virtual Libraries: Knowledge Sharing for the Developing World.

The 10-90 gap, double burden of disease, lack of infrastructure, resource scarcity: developing countries face a series of circumstances and determinants which inhibit progress in population health. Add to this constellation of challenges another set related to knowledge sharing, including the "know-do" gap and the digital divide, and the barriers to health in the Global South loom larger still. Whereas there's no silver bullet for rebuilding crumbling health systems, information sharing holds possibilities for improving health care and services, especially in resource-scarce settings.
