Summary

Developed by more than 40 leading global child health experts, this all-new, first-of-its-kind textbook is a comprehensive reference tool that combines travel medicine, practicing medicine in other countries; and review of diseases endemic in the tropics and resource-limited areas. This textbook begins by presenting foundational information to build understanding of disease, health, medicine, culture, law, and the environment. It provides information for health care practitioners on preparing families traveling with children. Finally, health and illness are discussed in tangible ways to guide the practice of pediatrics in resource-limited regions of the planet. This textbook can serve health care practitioners in conjunction with other AAP publications such as: Working in International Child Health, Atlas of Pediatrics in the Tropics and Resource-Limited Settings
