Institutional Eligibility HINARI Core Offer includes two groups of countries, areas, or territories (Group A and Group B) Local, not-for-profit institutions in two groups of countries, areas, or territories may register for access to the publications through the Core Offer of HINARI. The country lists are based on four factors: Total GNI (World Bank figures), GNI per capita (World Bank figures), United Nations Least Developed Country (LDCs) List and Human Development Index (HDI). Details about the criteria by which countries, areas, or territories are categorized for the core offer. Eligible categories of institutions are: national universities, professional schools (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, dentistry), research institutes, teaching hospitals and healthcare centers, government offices, national medical libraries and local non-governmental organizations. All staff members and students are entitled to access the information resources. 4
