Information poverty is one of the most significant obstacles to better health in the developing world. To address this problem, SatelLife, a Boston-based nonprofit organization has created HealthNet, a computer-based network linking healthworkers throughout the world to facilitate the exchange of health-related information. Using low-cost, sustainable technologies, SatelLife provides both electronic mail communications services and a variety of information services including electronic publications, electronic access to remote databases, and ongoing electronic conferences on topics of special relevance to health in the developing world. The article cautions that simply bringing high-speed Internet access to the developing world will not solve problems of information poverty, because such technology will be prohibitively expensive for all but the elite private sector and because of the need to provide targeted, high-quality information, not simply access to the vast, disorganized universe of information available on the Internet.
