This book is indispensible for anyone involved in mine victims assistance, relief work in civil disasters, or even first aid in emergencies and accidents. Step by step it shows how villagers in the South can build support networks to handle victims of mines and other disasters - taking into account the differences in infrastructure, terrain and clime, in healthcare and socioeconomic systems.
Victims start dying at the time of injury.
Immediate first aid by lay first responders can save lives. It is not true that indigenous resources and knowledge, locally adapted equipment and training aids are inferior to Western standards and imports. Everyone whose work involves contact with mine-affected communities should consider this book a vital resource. A splendid and important book. Nothing About Us Without Us.
