PSM Toolbox Quarterly Update
The PSM Toolbox is developed by WHO/AMDS together with i+solutions and other international organizations. It is presented in the form of a search engine where PSM professionals may select tools to suit their needs without losing time navigating in several agencies' websites. The full database can be accessed online as well as downloaded to USB sticks or hard disks allowing users to make use of the tools in areas without internet access. Users may also update their data whenever they have internet connection.
The USB version of PSM Toolbox is updated once every three months. The latest version (28-12-2012) is now available for download. Users may update their older version or download the new version at http://www.psmtoolbox.org/en/usb.php.
