Instruction for use
The IEHK2017 supplementary module 1a-controlled medicines is an integral part of the IEHK2017 Supplementary module 1 – medicines.

The IEHK2017 supplementary module 1a-controlled medicines contains medicines that normally
need import authorizations (narcotic/psychotropic substances). Since this kit is usually urgently required and needs to be shipped within 24 hours, it does not allow time to apply for import and export authorizations.
Therefore, until further notice, Supply Division will not require import authorizations for this kit. However, Country Offices ordering or receiving this kit are advised to investigate if their national authorities require an import authorisation. For these shipments, Supply Division will complete the "Notation Form for Emergency Supplies of Controlled Substances" and forward it to the DMA (Danish Medicines Agency). Please refer to Supply Manual, Chapter 4, Section 2- Annex 2 - Ordering of narcotic and/or psychotropic pharmaceutical products.

This kit must only be used by physicians and other professional health workers at the first referral level of health services.
