Where There Is No Doctor: a village health care handbook by David Werner is a seminal work in community health, published by The Hesperian Foundation in Palo Alto, California. This edition is the eleventh printing, released in November 1986. Originally published in 1977, this handbook is a comprehensive guide for providing healthcare in rural and underserved areas. Werner, an expert in community health, has crafted a resource that is both practical and accessible, with illustrations by the author himself to enhance understanding. This edition is particularly valuable for its continued relevance in global health education and its use in training community health workers. The book is known for its clear instructions and emphasis on preventive care, making it a vital tool in areas lacking medical resources. The physical condition is consistent with its age, and it is not an ex-library copy.
