Community Medicine in Developing Countries: A Manual for the Community Nurse (Oxford Medical Publications)

By F.J. Bennett and Monica Byrne

Revised throughout, with a new chapter on care of the disabled and simple first aid, and with a completely rewritten chapter on community nursing, this manual treats in detail those subjects necessary for effective public health nursing and health education in developing countries. The authors give a careful account of all aspects of the community nurse's task, stressing the vital importance of personal communication and of the teaching of sanitation, cleanliness, and basic health principles. This book will be useful not only to nurses but to anyone working in international health and relief programs.
