Clinical Guidelines for Management and Referral of Common Conditions
This guide provides a firm base for the attainment of equity and high standards in health care and the development of rational procurement and use of drugs by all prescribers, dispensers, hospital managers, and patients. The Guidelines are for the use of all clinicians who have the primary responsibility for diagnosis, management, and referral of outpatients and inpatients. They are also very useful to interns, medical students, clinical officers, pharmacists, and nurses in training.
