User Groups have become clarified
GHO has developed the following user classification to help 
  1. Those with access to specialty trained doctors 1-2 billion
  2. Those with trained provides but no doctors  2 billion
  3. Those with only untrained providers such as shaman, bone setters, etc. (2 billion)
  4. Those without any healthcare (about 1 billion)    
  5. Patients and families
Most medical information is created by and for group 1 users. The mission of GHO focuses groups 2-5 as this group encompasses the vast majority of the world’s population. Furthermore, these groups have least access to healthcare information as most books, journals and information is created in Level 1 countries. Such information is often not relevant or suitable for worldwide use.  Our publications are free, maybe copied for non-commercial purposed. We only ask that GHO be credited.
GHO has become more focused on Children because this group are underserved, improving care lasts a lifetime, and the need is greatest in in lean countries . GHO material is focused in pediatric orthopaedics because of the background and contracts of the Founder.
