Without information about what to give a child with stomach flu, how to relieve the pain of a broken bone, and how to work against increased substance abuse in a village, the whole community suffers. Children, adolescents, adults, and older people are all affected by the lack of basic healthcare, such as vaccination, pain killers, and contraceptives. To improve living conditions and life expectancy, the people in urban slums and rural areas need access to a trained health care worker, and a functioning clinic. This text illustrates how to start, develop, and maintain a health care programme in poor areas across the world. The focus is on how people can work together to improve health through sanitation, storage of food, fresh water, and more. ER -
