Burmese Border Guidelines
"The Burmese Border Guidelines are clinical guidelines designed to assist medics and health
workers practising along the Thai-Burmese border. They are adapted from the medical literature
and treatment guidelines of WHO and some NGOs to specifically address the pathologies and
constraints of the Burmese Border context. Every effort has been made to incorporate the
experiences of local medics and the medical providers who have been working in the refugee
camps and communities on the border for the last 15 years..."

| Title: | | Burmese Border Guidelines - update 2007 - Burmese |
| Date of publication: | | 2007 |
| Description/subject: | | "The Burmese Border Clinical Guidelines are specifically designed to assist medics and health workers
practising along the Thailand/ Burma border. They have been adapted from the international treatment
guidelines and medical literature of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Non-Governmental
Organisations (NGOs) that focus on common diseases present on the Thailand/ Burma border. Every
effort has been made to incorporate the experiences of the local medics and health providers who
have been working in the refugee camps and communities on the border for the last twenty years. The
language is in simple English...These guidelines should not replace clinical decision-making, but should act as an aid in confirming a
diagnosis when you already have an idea of the patient’s disease. These guidelines have been adapted
from medical reference books and are simplified for use in the context of refugee camps and peripheral
clinics on the Thailand/ Burma border, and therefore may not be appropriate for use elsewhere.
The treatment options help you to choose a therapy according to the severity of the disease and the
age of the patient. Treatment schedules mentioned in this book are just one way to cure a patient;
keep in mind that other therapies (suggested by other guidelines or new health workers) could be
used to treat your patient.
Read the TEXT for information about the disease. This tells you which signs and symptoms you
should expect, which tests you can use to make a diagnosis, which complications or signs of severity
to look for, which treatment to use and how to prevent the disease.
Read the TABLES for the medicine that you have chosen in order to find the correct dose according
to the age or weight of the patient. Here you will find contra indications and warnings for use
of medicines..." |

"Health Messenger" Junior
Individual Documents
| Title: | | "Health Messenger" Junior No. 8 - A day in the hospital |
| Date of publication: | | May 2007 |
| Description/subject: | | Most of you have already been
to the hospital, for a simple consultation
because you were sick
and needed to see a doctor, or
for hospitalization if you needed
more care.
The hospital might look familiar
to you: you know you will get helped by nurses, medics and doctors, and that you
will receive medicine. But this is only the visible part. We would like to take you backstage,
and show you what people usually do not see.
We will show you the pharmacy, and explain the history of tablets. We will present
you the different people that make the hospital work, the medics and nurses of
course, but also the director, the midwives, the lab technicians, the cooks, the logisticians
You will discover in this magazine the Umpiem Hospital, in all its detail.
However, most of it will be the same as in the hospitals of other camps, or in the
migrant clinics such as the one of Dr. Cynthia.
This overview of the hospital-world will help you understand which services you can
access: the dental or the eye
care, the mental health, the HIV
counseling. You will learn more
about blood analysis, X-Rays
and operating rooms.
Let's go for a day in the hospital,
and enjoy the discovery. |
