General description:

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.
