IEHK 2024,Basic Medicine&Renewable UNIT

General description:
Interagency Emergency Health Kit 2024 (IEHK 2024) Basic Medicine and Renewable Unit.

Intended use:
The IEHK 2024 is primarily designed to address the critical health needs of populations affected by emergencies. It focuses on situations where access to essential medicines, supplies, and services has been hindered or compromised due to an emergency event. The kit is designed primarily for “life-saving” purposes.

The IEHK is a standardized emergency kit, designed for worldwide use, prepacked and kept ready for immediate dispatch. Some of the medicines, medical devices and equipment contained in the IEHK may not be appropriate for all cultures and countries or every kind of emergency. It is not designed for health conditions requiring continued care or to substitute for normal health products supply chain mechanisms. The kits are neither designed nor recommended for re-supplying existing equipment, supplies and drugs in health-care facilities.

Target Population and period of use:
The Basic Medicine and Renewable Unit contains essential medicines and consumables required for an outreach population of 1,000 people for a period of three (3) months.
This unit is a part of the complete IEHK 2024.
The IEHK consists of “basic” and “supplementary” modules intended to cover different disease settings and levels of the health care system. The complete kit includes 10 basic modules (10 x 1,000 = 10,000) and 1 supplementary module (1 x 10,000).

Level of care:
This Unit contains products appropriate for use, services and staffing at Primary Health Care levels, or outpatient services that may be available at higher level facilities. It includes oral medicines and other supplies that correspond generally to the level and training of nurses and community health care workers. The term "renewable" refers to the medical devices within the unit, which are single-use items such as gloves, bandages, and compresses.
Note: Services level definitions can vary across countries and planners should be aware of the level of service appropriate for IEHK Units.
