The very first case study from Ethiopia by Mulugeta Bayisa (a practising physiotherapist) owes part of its success to the crucial underpinning work by Phi in exploiting HINARI. When Phi discovered that Leicester’s Professor Mike Silverman wanted two health information experts from the University to deliver the evidence-based practice module in their M.Sc. training programme for Ethiopian postgraduate students, Phi alerted him to the existence of highly trained and experienced Ethiopian HINARI trainers. In the event that only one trainer from Leicester was available Phi coordinated the submission of a successful bid to the BMA humanitarian fund. This funded another experienced UK trainer plus the Head of the Department of Information Studies at Jimma University to support the training led by Leicester’s trainer.
