Thanks:
All Hesperian materials are the result of a broad level of cooperation from the most dedicated health workers in the world. But these chapters would not have been possible without the generous help of a few people upon whom we leaned particularly heavily. Curt Wands-Bourdoiseau was instrumental in developing a new structure for the overall book; Kate Feibusch provided extensive, invaluable and patiently delivered medical advice; Lynne Coen, Syema Muzaffar,Michael Terry and Linda Spangler have provided incredibly helpful and detailed feedback about medicines and drug doses; Julie Cliff and Aruna Uprety were our first “Hesperian Fellows,” contributing several intensive weeks of work in Berkeley, and continuing to advise us on the approach to the content of several of these chapters.
Our work on everything from the Table of Contents to final decisions about medicines was informed by insightful critiques and comments received from:
