Paediatric Primary Health Care 4e Authors: J Ireland, D Power, D Woods and F Desai
This health sciences handbook provides information for medical students, nurses, doctors, and primary health care workers on basic paediatric and childhood conditions and gives practical advice on how to manage them. The South African Government’s focus on the provision of primary health care makes this text particularly valuable as it deals with the paediatric issues related to primary health. Due to a shortage of doctors, nursing staff are expected to provide necessary services. This book equips nurses and doctors with the skills to deal with the required procedures. It is also suitable for Nursing students taking courses in Child Nursing.
The handbook has now been updated to include the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI-SA) and the latest information on HIV management.
“[Paediatric primary health care] is systems-related – it is easy to correlate what is taught with what is in the book. It is a South African book, and easy to read. ”
Mrs S Rossouw, lecturer, University of Pretoria: Department of Nursing Science
