Source
is an international information support centre designed to strengthen
the management, use and impact of information on health and disability.
Source is a collaborative
venture of three organisations: the
Centre for International Child Health (CICH), which is a department
within an academic institution; Healthlink
Worldwide, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) working to
strengthen information and communication on health and disability, and Handicap
International, a disability and development NGO. Source has been
formed from a merger of CICH's and Healthlink Worldwide's resource
centres.
The combined information
support centre is designed to meet the information needs of individuals
and organisations working in health, disability and development
worldwide. These include health workers, researchers and students,
nongovernmental and governmental organisations, and disabled peoples’
organisations.
