WHO has done it's job

This little book is published by the World Health Organization. You can download it for free from the WHO web site. However it is handier in hard copy. The WHO succeeded admirablly with this book. It is an outstanding reference for a poor rural hospital with few resources. If you have any interest in 3rd world medicine this book is worth buying.
