Synopsis
Principles of Medicine in Africa combines clinical medicine with a rich understanding of the major environmental and cultural influences on health and disease, providing comprehensive guidance for anyone intending to practise medicine in Africa. Presenting disease in the context of family and culture, the effects of inequality and problems of limited resources are addressed. The authors have a wealth of experience in front line healthcare in Africa and provide practical, evidence-based management guidelines for all the common and less common conditions likely to be encountered. This fifth edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest research findings and management guidelines and there has been much greater involvement of African physicians in the writing and editorial process. The chapters on cancer and non-communicable diseases have been expanded and new chapters have been added on digital health, critical care in a resource-limited setting, antimicrobial resistance, COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases.
