The most widely used health education book in tropical and sub-tropical developing countries which has sold over one million copies and been translated into over 100 languages. It covers all aspects of people’s health ranging from diarrhoea to malaria and broken arms and ringworm. Special importance is placed on cleanliness, a healthy diet and vaccinations, and the book explains to readers what they can do themselves and how to prevent, recognise and treat many common sicknesses. It also shows them how to recognise problems they are unable to cope with and need to refer to a health worker. This new revised edition includes information about some additional health problems such as AIDS, dengue, complications from abortion and drug addiction and covers in detail both childbirth and family planning. Mothers and midwives will find useful the clear, easy-to-understand information for home birth, care of the mother and child health.
