Healthcare Information For All by 2015 (HIFA2015) is a global campaign and 'think-tank' that brings together more than 2200 health professionals, librarians and publishers from 142 countries worldwide, committed to a common goal: By 2015, every person worldwide will have access to an informed health care provider.

HIFA2015 was launched at the 10th Congress of the Association for Health Information and Libraries in Africa, in Mombasa, Kenya, in 2006. The campaign highlights the link between the lack of relevant, reliable information for healthcare providers in developing countries, and the daily toll of tens of thousands of deaths. Members share expertise and experience in two dynamic email forums: HIFA2015 and CHILD2015. During 2009, the campaign includes a special focus on the information and learning needs of nurses and midwives in low-resource settings.
