Community Medicine: Health of Nepal
The concepts of prevention and epidemiology that underpin community medicine, set in the context of Nepal: its federal health system, female community health volunteers, national programmes, and the distinct health problems of the mountains and the terai. Nepal-specific figures change every year, so the notes teach structure and principles and point you to the current official reports for numbers.
