Free eBook: The Infectious Diseases of Haiti

Free 321 page eBook “The Infectious Diseases of Haiti” by GIDEON in pdf format.

There are 347 forms of human infectious disease in the world today – and 198 of these (more than half) are known to occur in Haiti. Sadly, one of the “side effects” of living in a poor and disaster-ridden economy is a lack of useful facts regarding the local status of individual diseases. GIDEON (Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Online Network) is a Web-based application which follows diseases – both on a global level and within each country. Data are updated daily and are derived from all relevant journals, websites, Health Ministry reports and publications of the World Health Organization. The electronic book (E-book) is generated from information in the GIDEON database, and will serve as the first comprehensive review of Infectious Diseases in Haiti. Similar E-books can be prepared for any other country – or disease – and will be available from GIDEON in the near future.
