About this title

Synopsis

The second edition of this book has been fully revised in the light of new information and good practice. Community-based approaches to safe motherhood, immunisation, malaria and the treatment of TB through DOTS have been incorporated using guidelines from the World Health Organization. The book is written as a detailed yet simple how-to manual, designed to equip and empower health workers. Through a series of 20 illustrated chapters arranged in logical sequence, all important areas are covered. These range from initial tasks such as choosing and training a team, through the setting up of clinics and the use of village health workers to programmes for mothers and children. The final section covers evaluation, personnel management and how to make a programme sustainable. This book is designed for a wide range of health workers, including field staff, nurses, doctors and programme managers. It is also valuable reading for students, administrators and planner involved in this area of health care.
