A manual designed to help community health workers learn how to use simple drugs to treat common illnesses. Specific to health conditions in South-East Asian countries, the book uses simple explanatory texts and illustrations to communicate instructions for treating illnesses and knowing when a patient must be referred to a doctor. The book has two main parts. The first provides instructions for the correct and appropriate use of 31 essential drugs. The second part concentrates on the management of 17 common medical problems, moving from complaints such as pain, fever, cough, and vomiting to the specifics of drug treatment for tuberculosis, leprosy, pediculosis, and a number of eye, ear, and skin problems. The management of injuries due to accidents, burns, and poisoning, including snake-bite, is also covered.
