Natural and human-made disasters have overwhelmed many of the world’s resource-poor regions; local and international health care workers have stepped in to assist—with excellent skills, but often with less than adequate supplies and equipment. Health care workers in more developed countries also experience these shortages, even under “normal circumstances,” but generally to a lesser degree. The information in this book should help to overcome some of these difficulties.
