Health care, health management, health policy and health planning all depend on having good information to make decisions.

I have been working in health informatics for thirty years.  Twenty years of that have been in international health.  I firmly believe that improving information leads to better health.

The Health Informatics Series will explore different dimensions of informatics to give you information you can use to build better information systems and improve health.

I have degrees in engineering and medicine.  I started by founding a company in the US which gave doctors health information tools.  I have worked internationally with The World Bank, The Asian Development Bank, The World Health Organization and bilateral aid organizations including USAID, Australia AID.
