Access is determined by a country's economic status. The WHO categorizes eligible countries into two groups:
The Hinari password is a small string of characters with an enormous mission: to save lives by democratizing knowledge. For researchers in eligible countries, this password is as valuable as a laboratory key. Keep it secure, use it actively, and if you are a librarian or coordinator, treat password management as seriously as you would patient data. In the fight for global health equity, access is the first medicine—and the Hinari password is the prescription.
Once an institution is registered and approved, it is issued a unique username and password. This allows all staff and students at that institution to access the database.
Eligible institutions—such as universities, hospitals, government health ministries, and research centers—receive access to this treasure trove. However, because these resources are subscription-based and commercially valuable, access is strictly controlled. This is where the becomes the key.
