Types of Resources in this Toolkit
How can I suggest a Resource to include in this Toolkit?
K4Health Toolkits are electronic collections of carefully selected information resources on a particular topic for health policy makers, program managers, and service providers. They are based on a continuous publishing principle that allows them to evolve after publication to capture additional resources and to identify and fill remaining information gaps.
Purpose and Audiences of this Toolkit
