Abstract
Set against the background of the geographical, social and economic conditions of the country this paper outlines the structure of the health‐care system in Sri Lanka and describes the development of a health‐information system to support the information needs generated. Current developments including the role of the Health Literature, Library and Information Service (HELLIS; Sri Lanka) network and services are discussed, and problems enumerated. In conclusion the paper argues for the designation of one library, capable of being developed as a centre of excellence and with staff trained to exploit the new technologies, particularly CD‐ROM, to provide a central core facility for the country as a whole.
