| 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 the written Handbook as well as and realistic full color
Illustrations (58 posters-available in two sizes 8.5 x 11 inch
Notebook and 11 x 17 inch laminated. The PDF Illustration files can
also be used for large screen projections.)
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
