On Primary Health Care

New primary health care providers should be allowed to learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before. That is the philosophy behind a new book from a lecturer in Primary Care at The UWI.

“Psychosocial Issues in West Indian Primary Health Care” is the new book written by Dr Rohan Maharaj, UWI Lecturer in Primary Care and Coordinator of the UWI Family Medicine Programme.

Although written primarily for physicians, the book will be useful to many ancillary primary health care workers. Dr Maharaj sees the book as a tool for the training of medical students, residents and other primary health care workers in caring for patients.

The book is available at the UWI Bookshop and other bookstores nationwide.
