Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine

In its third revised, expanded and updated edition, this book advises health professionals on preparation, organisation, logistics, treatment of major trauma and medical emergencies and the special problems of delivering medicine in a hostile environment.

From the reviews of the third edition:

“This update is intended to be a textbook for a course preparing those who would sit for the DMCC examination … . examinees and seasoned practitioners alike can benefit from this comprehensive discussion of medical humanitarian aid in austere situations. … It does a good job of outlining the information that any worker should understand before venturing into this type of environment. … it contains valuable information for those wishing to practice medicine in tenuous, under-resourced and/or unsafe international circumstances.” (Amy Elisa Stoesz, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
