Am very happy to undertake this special course. I have learnt much from it especially to handle basic health care and emergencies.
Thanks to coursera and the lead instructors. This is my second course taken following deafness in the 21 century.

The best thing I liked about the course is that one can learn more and more, as much as he/ she wants to, through the literature and video links provided in between the lessons. I took many more hours than suggested to know more about these diseases and how to manage them in school set up. Thanks to my teachers and Coursera for this courseware.
