title: Lessons in survival.
abstract: A diploma course at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine prepares nurses and midwives to work in tropical countries. Students learn to recognise and treat tropical diseases and, just as importantly, to adjust their expectations so they can cope with the lack of resources and make a useful contribution.
