He found himself unprepared for the patients he saw, and realised no written resources existed to help him. It was, he wrote, “an empty space on the bookshelves of the world … that badly wanted filling”. He convened a conference of experts and collected their knowledge together into the book Medical Care in Developing Countries (1966), a “primer on the medicine of poverty”. In a simple, easy-to-read form, it told a non-specialist practitioner how to organise clinics and treat any number of complex conditions with the resources available in remote places such as Amudat. It had a huge impact, was translated and reprinted multiple times, and sold over 50,000 copies. Continue reading...
