Public health database spotlight: Global Health

Are you a public health student looking for a specialist international public health database which includes significant unique content particularly in the areas of tropical medicine, infectious diseases, vector control, food safety and epidemiology?

If you are, then take a look at the Library database, Global Health. Add your MWS username and password when prompted and you will be taken to the native interface of the database where you can search the database and access your results.

Please note that although the database will provide you with access to articles in full text when the Library subscribes to that journal, it does also include reference to articles from journals that the Library do not subscribe to - for these, you will not be able to view the full text.
