Global Index Medicus, from the World Health Organization (WHO), provides access to biomedical and public health literature from low- and middle-income countries. It brings together five regional health science indexes, maintained by WHO regional offices, which can be searched individually or simultaneously through a single search interface. The indexes cover:
AIM – African Index Medicus
LILACS – Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature
IMEMR – Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region
IMSEAR – Index Medicus for the South-East Asia Region
WPRIM – Western Pacific Region Index Medicus
Together, these indexes help researchers discover regional health research and publications that may not be well represented in major international bibliographic databases.
