Management for Child Health Services

The medical needs of children are complex, but the most important is prevention of avoidable illness. Aimed at those who work with children, this volume seeks to help professionals work harmoniously and effectively together using the simple techniques of good management. The book argues that there is nothing new about the techniques described, rather it is the failure to apply them that leads to sub-optimal services. It emphasizes good management practise within the resources available. This book should be of interest to child health administrators, clinical directors, consultant paediatricians (community and hospital) and managers of other professions dealing with child health.
