Beschrijving
A MacMillan tropical Community Heath Manual.
Considered by the World Health Organization to be the most widely-used health care manual in the world, this classic title can help anyone improve their health and the health of their community.
Easy to read, richly illustrated, and practical, Where There Is No Doctor covers a wide range of health issues from colds and the flu to serious illnesses such as HIV and tuberculosis; from keeping children healthy to care for the elderly; and from family planning and women’s health to first aid and pharmaceutical information.. Special attention is focused on infection and disease prevention, nutrition, and diagnostic techniques as primary ways to prevent and treat health problems.
This is exactly what it is; very useful for travellers that stay of the beaten track for longer periods, mainly in tropical areas.
Although meant for Africa, many examples on traditional beliefs and cures given from rural Mexico have relevance to the rural people in Africa. This book is quite invaluable and can be safely used, even in places like refuge camps etc.
