MEDLINE/PubMed - Although most of the significant medical periodicals published in developed countries are indexed in the MEDLINE database and similar tools, there is still a considerable amount of important and valuable medical and health documentation from countries outside the major industrialized areas which is not included. This material therefore receives less global visibility in spite of its often higher relevance for other developing countries.

Regional health and medical databases have been compiled to complement the internationally known bibliographical indexes such as MEDLINE from the US National Library of Medicine.
