Buku Medicine gives information or answers about the most common queries posed to eight medical specialties and has been prepared by specialists in those areas, and then reviewed by other specialists and GPs to ensure it is as concise and relevant as possible. It is for all grades of generalist and specialist doctors, specialist nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and more, and has links to key references and guidelines.

'Buku' is the Chewa word for book or reference. Chichewa is spoken in Malawi where we have links from voluntary projects.

Data collected from users shows that it can prevent a call to haematology completely for 21% of clinical queries, and start further investigations to expedite care for up to 60% more. See our website for testimonials of how it has helped users.

The information included is concise to make it easy to use, and further reading should be undertaken to gain a full understanding of the topics covered.

The App also contains an option to subscribe to Buku Plus to understand more about the diseases cared for in haematology. We can help you tell MDS from MPN, and lymphoma from LPD using written descriptions, images and videos.
