Four Handbooks on advanced obstetrics, advanced neonatal care and advanced paediatrics for download in low resource and emergency settings (2)

5 July, 2021

Dear David

Congratulations on your new series of books. I am pleased that your newborn book has been updated. We continue to develop course books that can be used by study groups in health facilities where formal training is not available. All 27 books are presented both in paper format and on an open access website

(https://bettercare.co.za/learn)

Our latest include a chapter on COVID in our Infection Prevention and Control book and a small book on Empathetic Care. I hope colleagues can "cherry pick" from our website to enrich their own distance learning programmes.

Warm regards, Dave Woods
