It then covers some of the most common diseases that each organ/system can suffer e.g. Hypertension, Asthma, Stroke and Diabetes and so on. It also has a section for general health issues e.g. overweight, sleep disturbances/insomnia, travel medicine and (for) First Aid. At the end of it there is a useful compendium of addresses and telephone numbers of local and national organisations in Australian health system.
