HDI Virtual Workbook

On this site, you'll find resources for training managers in health care organizations in developing countries. Our intention is to create a dynamic library of articles, training modules, best practice case studies and templates that can be used worldwide by  workshop trainers and participants. You'll also see the calendar of upcoming HDI events (right), and  opportunities for your volunteer participation.

The primary website for HDI is where you'll find information about our history, our mission, vision and values, and how to get involved.
