Hesperian is a non-profit publisher of books and other educational materials that help people take the lead in their own health care. Simply written and heavily illustrated, our books contain a wealth of life-saving information on diagnosing and treating a broad range of health problems. Hesperian works in close collaboration with health workers, grassroots groups, and community organizations around the world, to assure that our books and newsletters are practical, accessible, and appropriate across different conditions and cultures.
Under Hesperian's open copyright policy, other groups have adapted and translated our materials into more than 80 different languages, making these resources available to an even wider global audience. To view our translations, click here.
