Medical Database free to developing countries

The TRIP Database is now freely available to low-income coun-
tries.

Welcome to the TRIP Database, one of the Internet's leading
medical resources. The TRIP Database allows users to rapidly and
easily identify high quality medical literature from a wide
range of sources.

Content

The content of the TRIP Database is separated into a number of
categories (see Publications for the full list of publications
used within the site):

Evidence-based

Sites included in this section invariably have an explicit proc-
ess of secondary review of primary papers. Content includes sys-
tematic reviews, CATs, and journal clubs. The TRIP Database has
the world's largest explicit collection of evidence-based arti-
cles.

Guidelines

Clinical guidelines are central to modern healthcare and we have
gathered collections from around the globe. As with the evi-
dence-based category the TRIP Database has the world's largest
collection of clinical guidelines.

Query-answering

A rapidly expanding area within the health sphere. Query- an-
swering services essentially allow users to ask a clinical ques-
tion and then specialists answer the question. This is a very
specialised area and generates clinical answers to real clinical
questions making the answers highly relevant to clinical care.
Again the TRIP Database has the world's largest collection of
clinical questions and answers.

Medical Images

With over 80,000 medical images we believe this is the world's
largest searchable collection of medical images on the web.

eTextbooks

eTextbooks tend not to be as up to date as other sources (al-
though sources such as eMedicine.com are frequently updated) but
they can be very good for giving a broad understanding of an
area. Our collection of eTextbooks is again the world's largest
collection.

Patient Information Leaflets

A useful recent addition to the TRIP Database this brings to-
gether a number of patient information sources from around the
world.

Peer-reviewed journals

Using a special interface the TRIP Database automatically
searches PubMed using validated search filters to return highly-
focussed results. PubMed is the world's largest searchable
source of primary research articles."
