The MassGeneral Hospital for Children Handbook of Pediatric Global
Health is a concise resource for the ever-increasing number of
health professionals involved in global health, many of whom spend
a few weeks to months or even years providing medical care in
resource-poor countries. This Handbook provides practical,
evidence-based, hands-on guidance for managing and preventing
childhood illnesses when resources are limited in low- and middle-
income countries. It also offers a setting-specific understanding
and management approaches to the major causes of childhood
mortality, including pneumonia, diarrhea, birth asphyxia,
complications of preterm birth, and neonatal sepsis. The Handbook
provides an overview of childhood mortality, health systems, and
the various stakeholders that play a role in the global health
arena, and also contains chapters focusing on adolescents who are
increasingly recognized as a unique population in whom
interventions can go a long way in both consolidating the gains
made in childhood and preventing adult disease. Finally, key topics
in non-communicable diseases are covered, including trauma and
injuries, pediatric mental health, child and adolescent rights, and
oral health. Not meant solely for pediatricians, the Handbook is
designed for generalists, specialists, doctors, nurses, other
health care workers, and those in training. An indispensable
reference for health professionals overseas, the Handbook will also
be a useful addition and resource for academic centers and
universities in industrialized nations that are creating courses
for trainees who will do clinical electives abroad during their
training.
