AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF PRIMARY HEALTH 'The strength of this book lies in the distilled wisdom of two practitioners who teach through real-life examples and present practical solutions. It can therefore be recommended to all physicians and medical students. - fills a gap in the cross-cultural health literature' MJA
