Description and Table of Contents
Description
Over the years, Oxfam has been involved in a wide variety of health-related projects. The "Practical Health Guides" draw on this experience to put forward ideas on best practice in the provision of health care and services in developing countries. A comprehensive manual for use in treating different degrees of malnutrition in emergency situations, this book is an important reference for emergency planners and field-workers. The first part describes the assessment and monitoring of nutritional needs; part two gives detailed directions for the setting up and administration of selective and therapeutic feeding programmes, and appendices provide useful checklists and tables.
