For more than 50 years, Hesperian has provided information and educational tools to equip individuals and community organizations to take greater control over their health and lives and mobilize to eliminate the underlying causes of poor health. Our over 300 resources present easy-to-understand, accurate, culturally respectful, and highly-illustrated information on common health concerns including disease prevention and treatment, environmental health, worker health and safety, child disability, women’s health, midwifery, health worker training, and community dentistry. Hesperian publications have been translated and adapted into 85 languages and are used in 221 countries and territories. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), our best-known publication, Where There Is No Doctor, is the most widely used health manual in the world.
