Traditional healers are plentiful and are culturally accepted health care providers throughout Africa and much of the developing world. Until recently, however, few traditional healers have been involved in primary eye care activities. Findings from existing collaborative programmes suggest that healers can be a positive force for community-based prevention of blindness.The aim of this publication is twofold: Section 1 gives brief background information on traditional healers and explains why they should be involved in the prevention of blindness activities; Section 2 makes specific recommendations for working with healers and may serve as a training manual.Contents:Section 1:Rationale: Why Work with Traditional Healers?Background Information on Traditional Healers in AfricaTraditional Eye PracticesCollaborating with Traditional HealersSection 2:Teaching Traditional Healers Curriculum StructureTeaching Units:OrientationCataractTrichiasisAssessing VisionRed EyeNeonatal Conjunctivitis and Other Childhood Eye DiseasesGeneral Health, Hygiene and NutritionReferral and Continuing EducationReadership: Opthalmologists, public health specialists and health educators.Key Features:The book describes basic knowledge and a number of specific preparation methods of cyclodextrin derivatives (s) from research that will be invaluable to researchers and technicians in the fieldIt is the first book in the international market focusing on the screening of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) and systematic preparation of sugar-branched cyclodextrin and cyclodextrin derivatives (s)
