These will get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong> produces the annual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/whr\/2006\/en\/index.html\"><em>World Health Report<\/em><\/a>. The 2006 report focuses on the shortage of health care workers worldwide. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/whr\/previous\/en\/\">Previous years&#8217; reports<\/a> have focused on topics such as HIV\/AIDS (2004),  the overall picture of major health threats (2003) and health systems around the world (2000). The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/en\/\">WHO website<\/a> provides a great deal of information on specific health topics such as climate change &amp; human health, avian influenza, disease outbreaks, and of course <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/whosis\/whostat\/en\/index.html\">world health statistics<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>U.S. Dept. of Health &amp; Social Services<\/strong> has a <a href=\"http:\/\/globalhealth.gov\/\">globalhealth.gov<\/a> website that provides information and links to other sites with additional information.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/\"><strong>World Bank<\/strong><\/a> may not immediately come to mind for information on health topics, but in fact it funds health projects worldwide, e.g., using education systems to combat HIV\/AIDS in <a href=\"http:\/\/siteresources.worldbank.org\/INTHIVAIDS\/Resources\/375798-1103037153392\/EducandAIDS.pdf\">Africa<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2zdwe3\">south Asia<\/a>. Visit its <a href=\"http:\/\/go.worldbank.org\/AI1CANUER0\">Public Health at a Glance<\/a> webpage to obtain information about its other health priorities, such as malaria, immunizations, and tuberculosis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Search the Library&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/wtwlib.wisconsin.edu\/cgi-bin\/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&amp;PAGE=First\">online catalog<\/a> for the keyword phrase &#8220;world health&#8221; or search for more specific topics to find useful materials on the shelves. Some of the listings will be online books or documents (location will be &#8220;Internet&#8221;). To read an Internet title click on the title and then on the link following &#8220;Linked Resources&#8221; in the catalog record. If you want to limit your search to books in the 3rd-floor Main Collection, set the &#8220;Quick Limits&#8221; to Main Collection before you do your search. Questions? Ask the reference librarian on duty for assistance (in person, by calling 262-472-1032, or by <a href=\"http:\/\/library.uww.edu\/subject\/askwi.htm\">emailing or chatting<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uww.edu\/images\/library\/blog\/gpologo.gif\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Government Printing Office logo\" height=\"58\" width=\"60\" \/>The University Library is a federal and Wisconsin depository with many federal, state, local, and international documents on a variety of current and relevant issues available to you in print, microfiche, CD-ROM, and electronically.
