Global HELP provides free health-care information to developing countries and is committed to making medical knowledge accessible worldwide.
Our vision is to be recognized as a major provider of free health-care publications for developing countries and medical professionals, patients, and families worldwide. We create this information to support long-term, sustainable improvements in the quality of life for individuals of current and future generations.

Description:
We are a Seattle-based non-profit that provides free health-care information to developing countries. We do this by producing low-cost publications that can be downloaded (for free) and through distribution on CD-ROM. Right now we are focusing on re-publication of medical textbooks that we convert to PDF files, index, and group into topics for specific CD-ROM libraries.
To-date, our materials have been downloaded in over 140 countries, including over 20,000 copies of the Clubfoot: Ponseti Management guide, which we have available in over a dozen languages.

History:
Global HELP was founded in 2002 by Doctors Lynn and Lana Staheli. Dr. Lynn Staheli is professor emeritus from the University of Washington and was the chair of orthopaedics at Seattle Children's Hospital for several decades. Throughout his overseas teaching experience he learned first-hand the need for greater distribution of health information resources to doctors and health-care workers in developing countries.
