IMAI district clinician manual: hospital care adolescents and adults

Overview

This manual is aimed at the district clinician who may be a medical officer, clinical officer, or senior nurse, and other senior health workers working at a district hospital in a resource-constrained setting. The manual assumes that many district hospitals in these settings have general multipurpose practitioners, such as a medical or clinical officer, but do not have specialist clinicians, such as an internist, paediatrician, or psychiatrist (although it may be possible to consult with one).
