Collaboration:

There are many ways that you can contribute to the project, for example :

• Documentation
• Translation
• Bug reporting
• Quality Assurance
• Coding
• New functionality
• Implementations

You can also help by passing the word. Many health professionals do not know that there are free health systems that can be used for free. By letting them know about GNU Health, they will be able to iinvestigate it further and see whether it fits their needs.

Tell your government officials and health authorities about Free software solutions in Health. No matter whether is GNU Health or other free health information system. What it matters is that they have to get involved in Free Software for the health sector. Tell them about the benefits about implementing a Free Health Information System.
Governments like the European Commission and Brazil have already published GNU Health at their public software portals.

If you need help to start a GNU Health project in your community ...

We are committed to do our best in helping out projects that can improve the health of your country, region or village.
We want the project to be a success, and since our resources are limited, we need to work together to make a great and sustainable project.
Please keep in mind that most of the elegible projects will come from developing countries or NGOs helping out developing countries.
In order to be elegible, we need the following information from you, your NGO or government :

• An introduction of the current needs
• The project will use free software, both at the server and workstations (client)
• There will be a local designated person that will be in charge of the project and the know-how transfer to the rest of the community. This person must be committed to be from the beginning of the project until two years after its completion.
• There must be a commitment of knowledge transfer to the rest of the team.

We will do our best to help you out with the implementation and training for the local team. Please send us a mail with that info to health@gnusolidario.org and we'll back to you as soon as possible.
