Setting up Community Health Programmes
A practical manual for use in developing countries, written by Dr Ted Lankester. This revised edition has all you need to know about how to set up community based health care in rural or urban areas.
The book incorporates much of the recent research, which has been done in a variety of countries on community-based approaches to primary health care. This revised edition brings the community care of people with HIV into a central position. It deals with the synergy between HIV and TB and offers community based approaches to treatment as well as care and prevention. The evidence-based approach, which underpins the book, will make it an attractive resource for the increasing number of health courses especially at masters level. These revisions make the book invaluable for anyone involved in primary health care including doctors, nurses and care workers of all levels.
