Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Mission Medicine is a practical and compassionate guide for those on the frontline of a humanitarian crises, not as doctors or nurses, but as committed responders working in complex, resource-limited, and emotionally charged environments. As a unique reference handbook, it contains material not found in one volume elsewhere. Written with clarity, humility, and lived experience, Mission Medicine provides a comprehensive yet accessible manual that bridges the gap between professional healthcare and real-world responses, covering every phase of humanitarian deployment, from initial response and rapid assessment through to team leadership and deployment, WASH (water, sanitation, hygiene), psychosocial care, chronic, communicable and tropical diseases and field ethics, as well as clear guidelines for those emergency and urgent medical conditions, encountered on any deployment. Mass casualty events, cooperating with the military, gender based violence and child health, as well as dealing with the dead are sensitively discussed, with each section combining operational practicality with logical flow, allowing readers to use it both as a training manual and a field reference. Mission Medicine is more than a handbook and should be accessible to all seeking to build ethical, capable, and compassionate teams.
