Help! Emergency treatment before a patient is referred to a hospital

A clinician working in a remote health centre in Kenya wants to compile a small handbook of handling emergency cases at the health centre before the patient is referred to the district hospital.This is a case of 'repackaging information' from complex text to simple text in which anyone can use.I have already recommended 'where there is no doctor' but more information is needed by the clinician.Someone out there please help!

I work for Hesperian Foundation, the publisher of "Where there is no doctor." I recommend you visit our web to see if any of our other materials will help. We do have free downloads of our materials so you can actually read the content of our books. www.hesperian.org.
