OUR APPROACH

Who: These guidelines are for primary care volunteer clinicians working in resource-limited or remotes settings.

Evidence-based: Guidelines are based on World Health Organization protocols, where they exist, and supplemented by our published analyses of protocols from NGOs operating in Latin America.

Safe: It’s critical to understand when patients cannot be safely managed in the community. Red flags indicate when patients should be evacuated to a higher level of care.

Succinct: International guidelines are often lengthy documents. While by no means comprehensive, we have made efforts to keep these algorithms short.

Symptom-based: In low-resource settings, diagnostic tests are limited and most diagnosis is clinical. These guidelines reflect this reality.
