The Virtual Health Library (VHL) Nursing Brazil convened its Advisory Committee on November 12, 2019, in the city of Manaus/AM, Brazil, for the 19th Regular Meeting on the occasion of the 71st Brazilian Nursing Conference, with three main objectives: pass the reports of the executive secretariat, evaluate and monitor the subprojects of the VHL-Nursing Brazil, and promote the launch of new information sources.
Ceará state received two Virtual Health Library Stations (VHLS): one in the city Itapipoca, and the other in Canindé. Consequently, Brazil now counts on 105 VHLS, with 12 of them in Ceará. The VHL Station is a project of the Ministry of Health, carried out through the General Coordination of Documentation and Information (GCDI) in cooperation with BIREME/PAHO/WHO. Its principal objective is to contribute to equitable access, the strengthening and amplification of the use of scientific and technical information sources in the Unified Health System (SUS).
