Multilingual Publications Online

There are quite a number of databases and electronic directories, which provide translated material in a wide variety of public health and also specialist areas.

It is recommended to assess these publications first before commencing an entirely new publication. It is more cost effective to amend an existing publication with permission from the owner of the original publication.
