Abstract

Despite the recent growth in health informatics, the use of information, communication and technology (ICT) by health researchers in resource-limited settings has been slow and inequitable. Further, many local institutions that have excellent ICT capacity do not routinely provide such services to the health researchers. innovative delivery of ICT skills to health researchers may improve the quality and impact of research outcomes.
