This page offers a guide to groups and other resources on the web that we have found to be notable examples offering information and support useful to developing community-based healthcare. We have also included links to organizations and non profits that may not be directly involved in healthcare, but who are involved in addressing broader social concerns related to health, and healthcare delivery.

Please take the time visit these websites, and to offer us your feedback on their usefulness and utility to your program. Please also send us your favorite links to websites offering information on organizing, planning, funding and management of community based healthcare in the developing world.
