The WHO's Global Index Medicus (GIM) aggregates regional health databases and contains over two million health-science records. It provides worldwide access to biomedical and public health literature produced by and within low-middle income countries. The main objective is to increase the visibility and usability of this important set of resources. The material is collated and aggregated by WHO Regional Office Libraries on a central search platform allowing retrieval of bibliographical and full text information.

 

It is freely available and easy to search. Checkout the user guide here: https://www.globalindexmedicus.net/wp-content/themes/globalindexmedicus/img/guiaen.pdf
