Health Informatics Building Blocks (HIBBs) Program

The Health Informatics Building Blocks (HIBBs) Program seeks to build workforce capacity in resource constrained environments to plan, develop, manage, and use health information and communications technology (HICT) applications, with the goal of improving the delivery of health care. With an initial focus on sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the Program works with local partners to develop, implement, and evaluate training resources for distance and face-to-face learning on HICT topics.  The Global Health Informatics Partnership (GHIP), the umbrella organization for global programs at the AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association), manages the HIBBs Program.  The Rockefeller Foundation provides financial support for the HIBBs Program.
