Dr. David Gaus and Dr. Diego Herrera recently wrote a comprehensive medical manual in Spanish which is being used by doctors and nurses in rural Ecuador and other parts of the Spanish-speaking developing world. The manual is pocket-sized and covers a wide array of best practices in medicine, contextualized specifically for medical care provision in low resource settings.
