Comparisons with other sites:

Red Cross There is a different approach to dividing the feature areas on this site. – This site has two navigations, that is, it divides the content in business oriented info: About Us, Contact Us, governance, Media Resources, Connect versus an “action” submenu: Preparing and Getting Trained, Getting Assistance, giving and Getting Involved, Workwith with the Red Cross, Your Local Red Cross – Video section is permanent on the home page – Request for people to sign up for email newsletter – Connect - separate section for Flickr, twitter, and blog, etc. Recommendation: Should consider a Media area to display Wiki content that is video or podcast.

Doctors Without Borders - About Us - Field news - Work with MSF - Donate - Public Events - Publications - Press Room Recommendation: OurMed could consider a separate navigation area for Events.

NPR The difference in approach on this site is that it focuses on the latest content on the home page, and redirects the user to NPR Community.

Recommendation: The Most Popular articles/stories is a tabbed format that displays: Most Views, Recommended, and Commented. Our Med might want something like this in the Lastest Posting area.

Oxfam Features: Spotlight, News/Campaigns, How You Can Help, Subscribe to Newsletter, Find Oxfam (tool), Blogs, Latest Video Recommendation: Our Med could consider adding Video feature and sign up for Newsletter on the home page.

World Health Organization Highlights/Spotlight, Donation, Key People at WHO, Crises and Emergences, Editors Choice, Podcast, Events, Media Center. Also, on the footer, RSS feeds

Recommendation: Our Med could consider a Media Center as feature, which could display video, podcasts, press info, etc. At a later date, RSS feeds could be provided by disease, or content category.

United Nations (in English) News, Events, Your United Nations, Main Bodies, The UN and…, In Focus, Global Issues, Resources and Services, Recent Additions Recommendation: Not sure that there is anything here that would enhance OurMed, except for Events.
