Dear AFRO-nets members,
I am forwarding the message below from HIFA2015. We look forward to a very productive contest, raising awareness of the importance of healthcare information and support for healthcare providers. Photoshare is a vitally important photo collection that is used (without cost) by hundreds of non-profit organisations worldwide, including HIFA2015. We are proud to be associated with this contest and hope you will contribute your photos to help build the Photoshare collection - and for the chance to win a prize.
With thanks,
Neil
