"This book provides an essential and comprehensive guide for anyone involved in setting up or managing community-based health care in a resource-poor setting, but its appeal is much wider that that." - Mike Townend, Journal of the British Global and Travel Health Association

"... an engaging read and a worthwhile resource. Whether you are considering an overseas work placement, are involved in global health policy, planning, or research, or simply want to widen your horizons on the delivery of community-focused health care for vulnerable populations, each chapter provides sound food for thought." - British Journal of General Practice

"A highly practical and applied approach with plenty of frameworks, illustrations and examples which both help communicate key messages and can be used in teaching and training for a wide variety of audiences. In summary, this is an excellent resource for all interested in global health." - Marko Kerac, Clinical Associate Professor in Public Health Nutrition, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
