The World Health Organization marks the 25th anniversary of Research4Life, a public-private partnership aimed at improving access to scientific knowledge. According to WHO, Research4Life provides researchers, educators, health professionals and policy-makers in low- and middle-income countries with affordable or free access to scientific publications. WHO says the initiative has expanded over time and now reaches more than 120 countries. Both sources frame the anniversary as a milestone in efforts to support evidence-based work in health and related fields by lowering barriers to information. They describe Research4Life as serving multiple user groups—beyond researchers alone—by including educators, health professionals, and policy-makers. WHO does not provide specific figures in the excerpts on usage levels, funding amounts, or which particular resources are included, but it emphasizes the scale of geographic coverage and the partnership’s role in increasing access. The reports present the anniversary as recognition of progress made since Research4Life’s launch and continued support for access to scientific knowledge in lower-resource settings.
