These guidelines were developed to help families and communities save the most lives and relieve
the most suffering by preventing and managing their most common and serious medical conditions.
However, there are times when compliance with the best evidence-based guidelines may not be
possible and treatment may need to be modified (Lack of means to boil water, or lack of
availability of Oral Rehydration Solution packets, for example). Even our very best evidence-based
sources include a disclaimer for liability purposes, and we are also required to state the following:
All reasonable precautions have been taken to verify the information contained in this publication.
However, the published material is being distributed without warranty of any kind, either express or
implied. The responsibility for the interpretation and use of the material lies with the reader. In no
event shall the authors or their reference sources be liable for damages arising from its use.
The goal of this program is to provide the best available life saving information to as many people
of developing countries as possible. For this reason the program must remain available free or at
cost and we have granted permission to copy the program for non-profit educational purposes.
The program is protected by copyright and copying or distributing for commercial use or profit
is prohibited.
The written HANDBOOK will continue to be revised to incorporate new evidence-based
information and will remain available at no cost (for noncommercial use) for downloading at this
website. As the program will be continually updated, you will need to check this site occasionally
and click on one of the Handbooks below to ensure your copy is current. The revision date is
found at the top of the first page of the Handbook (“Table of Contents" page). Evidence-based
recommendations for improvements to the program are very much appreciated and may be sent to

The ILLUSTRATIONS should not require much future revision. However, they are relatively large
files and may be difficult to download for those without high speed internet access. Our website
file size has been reduced as much as possible to enable downloading for those in developing
countries. However this does result in some decrease in quality of the printed 11x17 inch poster
size illustrations, and the file size may still be too large for many to download (About 6 MB for all
56 Illustrations).
We have therefore made available a CD which includes the entire program (Handbook and higher
resolution illustrations, as well as power point slides, etc.). Cost of the CD is $4+$4 S&H = US $8.
