The materials include flyers, pamphlets, posters, reports and working papers dating mostly from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Most were created and distributed by non-governmental organizations and by government agencies in this country.

Subjects covered: alternative medicine; children's health; disease; drugs; educational materials; health reports; HIV/AIDS; indigenous medicine; medical infrastructure and resources; mental health and psychology; nutrition; sanitation, housing and water; sexual and reproductive health; women's reproductive health.
