[pronut-hiv] Gateway to nutrition websites

["Ann Burgess" <annpatriciaburgess@yahoo.co.uk>]

Dear Pronut-hiv
   
  We are updating a list of nutrition-related websites for ?Essential Health Links?. EHL is a gateway to reliable websites on health/medical topics for users in ?low income countries? ? see http://www.healthnet.org/essential-links. We need to decide how comprehensive to make this list and would be grateful for your input. So please could you tell us:
    
   Do you know of any other easy-to-access gateway to websites on nutrition (ones that are particularly relevant to low income countries)? If so, please send us the url?   
   We have listed below websites that might be included in Essential Health Links. We have chosen these because they give links to important recent documents and/or to other key websites. Do you know of other sites like these that we might include? Please note that our list cannot be too long, that sites should to be ?international? rather than too ?country-specific? in nature, and that the managers of EHL will make the final decisions about what to include! 
  Best wishes for 2008
