Consists of lesson plans based on a successful training course developed by Voluntary Service Overseas doctors and health workers who see patients in a primary care setting. The manual helps to teach primary health care workers how to diagnose common illnesses and how to prescribe rationally. Based on extensive field experience and field testing, it will help primary care workers use essential drugs to effectively combat the ill health that continues to hinder human wellbeing and development in the world’s poorest countries. The original training course was developed in Tanzania by VSO doctors and their local colleagues and it has been adapted by a wide range of health experts to make it relevant to primary health care workers throughout the developing world.
