Ministries of health, universities, research institutes, and other institutions working in the area of knowledge information, knowledge management, and communications for health can help in the dissemination of the 9th Regional Congress of Information in Health Sciences (CRICS9); for instance, using the electronic banners of CRICS9 in websites.
Electronic banners are available in the website of the Congress in different formats (jpg, png and pdf), resolutions and languages. All the versions contain the CRICS9 logo and the slogan.
The theme for CRICS9 is “eHealth: reaching universal access to health”. During three days the participants of CRICS9 will be contributing through plenary sessions, round tables, panels, and workshops. The event will be preceded by the 6th Meeting of Regional Coordination of the Virtual Health Library (BVS6), to be held 20-21 October, also in Washington.
The Regional Congress of Information in Health Sciences (CRICS) is the most important forum for the exchange of information on programs, projects, systems, and networks of information and scientific communication in health in the region of the Americas. Among these programs are the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and the Virtual Campus of Public Health (VCPH). CRICS is organized by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), through its Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME).
