Description:

This pocket book is for use by doctors, senior nurses and other senior health workers who are responsible for the care of young children at first referral level in developing countries. It presents up-to-date clinical guidelines which are based on review of the available published evidence by subject experts, for both inpatient and outpatient care in small hospitals where basic laboratory facilities and essential drugs and inexpensive medicines are available. In some settings, these guidelines can be used in the larger health centers where a small number of risk children can be admitted for inpatient care.
