Eligibility
HINARI Core Offer includes two groups of countries, areas, or territories (Group A and Group B)
Local, not-for-profit institutions in two groups of countries, areas, or territories may register for access to the publications through the Core Offer of HINARI. The country lists are based on four factors: Total GNI (World Bank figures), GNI per capita (World Bank figures), United Nations Least Developed Country (LDCs) List and Human Development Index (HDI).
- Eligible categories of institutions are: national universities, professional schools (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, dentistry), research institutes, teaching hospitals and healthcare centers, government offices and national medical libraries, and local non-governmental organizations. All staff members and students are entitled to access the information resources.
- If your institution is in a Group A (free access) country, area, or territory, then HINARI is free. If your institution is in a Group B (low-cost access) country, area, or territory, HINARI costs US$ 1000 per institution per calendar year (from January through December). All eligible institutions registering from Group B countries, areas, or territories will receive a six month trial without payment.
- If your institution is in a Group B (low-cost access) country, area, or territory, and cannot or chooses not to pay the annual fee, the institution will still be eligible for free access to a small number of information resources.
