Operation book covering

Through our Scottish Government funded Small Grant project on 'strengthening emergency care communications in Chitambo District' we have purchased 40 new emergency care books from Teaching Aids at Low Cost (TALC):  http://www.talcuk.org/
The books are for an emergency care resource centre at Chitambo Hospital and its 12 Rural Health Clinics.

They include:

• Essential Obstetric and Newborn Care
• Medecin Sans Frontier Clinical Guideines
• The British National (Drug) Formulary  

3 'hard to reach' clinics, in the Bangwelu Swamps, which do not have internet connectivity, will also receive tablet pcs with emergency care downloads (First Aid app etc), so that, despite their isolation,  staff have access to best emergency care evidence.

To ensure durability of the books, we obtained slip over dust covers.

Here are some photos of the books and our Trustee, Margaret (a retired teacher),  helping to apply the covers.

A Penicuik GP also donated 3 quite recent drug formularies to boost our stocks.  These are like gold and we can't thank her enough for the kind gesture.
