| HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (THE MOST IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE) |
This program was created to provide the most important evidence-
based health care information to the people who need it most. The
program:
-is based on the most critical global health care needs as specified in
the latest World Health Organization (WHO) World Health Reports.
-emphasizes the top 10 leading risk factors globally that cause the
most deaths and suffering.
-describes WHO guidelines for prevention of these as well as other
common diseases through “reducing risk and promoting healthy life.”
-includes mental health and other recommendations for recovering
from disasters, physical or sexual assault, or other serious accidental
or war-inflicted injury.
-provides a holistic approach to care of the whole person: body,
mind and spirit.
-incorporates WHO guidelines such as “Integrated Management of
Childhood Illness” and provides additional evidence-based guidelines
for prevention and treatment from Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and other WHO collaborating partners.
-addresses the most important health problems in "developed" as
well as "developing" countries.
-empowers patients, families and the local community to save lives
and relieve suffering by preventing and managing their most
common and serious medical conditions.
-includes two PDF files for each language: The written Handbook,
as well as corresponding 58 full color Illustrations. The PDF files
are either shown directly on computer monitors, or printed in the 8.5
x 11 inch letter-size. The PDF Illustration files are also used for
large screen projections, and can also be enlarged (129%) to make
11 x 17 inch laminated posters by your local printer.
-is free for downloading.
Most of the patients we see in developing countries are suffering
from diseases that are preventable. Of all their medical needs, the
greatest by far is for reliable health care information. Although life-
saving information is available from the best evidence-based
sources, it seldom reaches our patients or even their health care
providers. This program enables the integration of primary care
and community health at the hospital, clinic/health center, and
family/community levels of care. --See How to Use the Program
