As humanitarian aid organizations have evolved, there is a growing
recognition that incorporating palliative care into aid efforts is
an essential part of providing the best care possible. A Field
Manual for Palliative Care in Humanitarian Crises represents the
first-ever effort at educating and providing guidance for
clinicians not formally trained in palliative care in how to
incorporate its principles into their work in crisis situations.
Written by a team of international experts, this pocket-sized
manual identifies the needs of people affected by natural hazards,
political or ethnic conflict, epidemics of life-threatening
infections, and other humanitarian crises. Later chapters explore
topics including pain management, skin conditions, non-communicable
diseases, palliative care emergencies, the law and ethics of end of
life care, and more. Concise and highly accessible, this manual is
an ideal educational tool pre-deployment or during fieldwork for
clinicians involved in planning and providing humanitarian aid,
local care providers, and medical trainees.
