Introduction

The country profiles in the field of Knowledge Management and Access to Health Information offer technical information about policies, programs, and official documents. These profiles provide statistics and metrics of scientific production in the main bibliographic databases, training and workshops carried out in a given period. They also provide information on how countries handle the exchange, use, production and management of health information and knowledge, including national institutional networks and the presence of the country in social networks. The data included in these profiles is from a permanent survey of the technical cooperation between the Pan American Health Organization and its Member States in the Region of the Americas.
