The document provides an overview of the Interagency Emergency Health Kit 2017, which contains medicines and medical supplies for 10,000 people for approximately three months. Some key changes from the 2011 version include the addition of medicines and equipment for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and pulmonary diseases. The kit is designed for the early emergency response phase and is not intended to replace existing medical supply systems long-term. It can be ordered through various partner agencies.
This Manual of Procedures (MOP) was developed to assist and align the efforts in implementing AMS programs in all (Level I, II, and III) hospitals across the country. It seeks to serve as a guide to individual hospitals in the design and establishment of local AMS programs while providing a framework for national-level action and commitment.
Recommendations within this document are, as far as possible, based on review of published literature on strategies that have shown to be effective. Consultation with key members (Infectious Diseases physicians, clinical pharmacists, and Infection Control nurses) from eight (8) pilot hospitals as well as the National Antibiotic Guidelines Committee (NAGCom), other national Infectious Diseases societies and relevant DOH offices were undertaken to obtain a consensus opinion and ensure that this MOP is practical and feasible.
All attempts to consider the context of local culture and practices have been taken in the creation of this MOP. Nonetheless, we have chosen to only define core aspects of the national AMS program without being overly prescriptive. Hospitals are strongly encouraged to adapt this MOP to their individual setting in order to maximize its effectiveness, including reduce barriers to implementation and encourage shared ownership towards the goal of AMS.

Medications are a critical component of the care provided to patients and are used for diagnostic, symptomatic,
preventive, curative, and palliative treatment and management of diseases and conditions. A medication
system that supports optimal medication management must include processes that support safe and effective
medication use. Safe, effective medication use involves a multidisciplinary, coordinated effort of health care
practitioners applying the principles of process design, implementation, and improvement to all aspects of
the medication management process, which includes the selecting, procuring, storing, ordering/prescribing,
transcribing, distributing, preparing, dispensing, administering, documenting, and monitoring of medication
therapies

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Introduction
History of the Interagency Emergency Health Kit
• The Interagency Emergency Health Kit (IEHK) was first
developed in 1990.
• Since its inception it has been revised several times to better
fit the changing needs of various emergency situations and
the health profiles of affected populations.
• The last revision was conducted in 2011 and incorporated
content to better address mental health and special needs of
children.
2
3. Introduction…
• The malaria and post-exposure prophylaxis modules were further reviewed in
2015.
• The revision of the IEHK 2017 has followed the same process as was used in
2011, involving several expert consultations with representatives from different
partner agencies.
• The WHO acts as the Secretariat for coordination of updates of the kit.
• The IEHK has been widely accepted and used to respond to various
emergencies.
• It is one of the most popular emergency health kits available and has been
benchmarked for the development of other health kits.
3
4. Principles behind the IEHK 2017
• The IEHK 2017 is designed (standardized) principally to meet
the priority health needs of a population affected by
emergencies, who have limited access to routine health care
services.
• The kit is designed primarily for “life-saving” purposes, not
for health conditions requiring continued care.
• Given its use in emergency situations, the IEHK fills
immediate medical gaps; it does not aim to replace existing
medical supply chain mechanisms.
4
5. Cont’d
• The kit contains essential drugs, supplies and equipment to
be used for a limited period of time and target a defined
number of people.
• Some of the medicines and medical devices contained in the
kit may not be appropriate for all cultures and countries, or
every kind of emergency.
• This is inevitable as it is a standardized emergency kit,
designed for worldwide use, which is pre-packed and kept
ready for immediate dispatch.
5
6. Cont’d
• The kit and its modules are not intended as
re-supply kits and, if used as such, may
result in the accumulation of items and
medicines which are not needed.
6
7. Cont’d
• It must be emphasized that, although supplying medicines and medical
devices in standard pre-packed kits is convenient early in an emergency,
specific local needs must be assessed as soon as possible and further
supplies must be ordered accordingly.
• Therefore, once basic health care services have been established, the health
care coordinator should assess primary health care needs and re-order
medicines, renewable medical devices and medical equipment based on
consumption of these items.
• All efforts should be made to strengthen or develop a medical supplies
logistics management information system that can enable appropriate
quantification and stock management as soon as the emergency situation
stabilizes.
7
8. Selection of Medicines
• The selection of medicines in the kit is based on
– the global burden of disease,
– expert knowledge on the types of health conditions presented by
the affected population in recent emergencies and
– recommendations of the WHO Expert Committee on Selection
and Use of Essential Medicines.
• The IEHK includes relevant clinical guidelines and
information to support appropriate use (consumption
registration book).
8
9. Key points about the kit
• The full IEHK contains medicines and medical devices for 10 000 people
for approximately three months.
• The IEHK is designed for use in the early phase of an emergency situation.
• The IEHK is designed to be self-sufficient and is made up of a basic
module for use by health care workers with limited training and a
supplementary module for use by physicians or senior health care workers.
• The supplementary module should only be used together with at least one
basic module.
• The IEHK is updated on a regular basis using the most up-to-date
information available.
9
10. Key points about the kit…
• The IEHK is not designed to cover needs for:
– immunization and nutrition
– reproductive health services
– HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and leprosy diagnosis and
treatment
– chronic management of non communicable diseases
– major surgery.
• Other kits available to complement the IEHK. 10
11. Major changes since the IEHK 2011
• Basic Module
– Removal of magnesium trisilicate and replacement
with omeprazole in line with Essential Medicines
List (EML) recommendations.
– Lower strength of ibuprofen from 400 mg to 200
mg to cater to children’s needs.
11
12. Supplementary Module
Cardiovascular diseases
• Inclusion of medicines for treatment of acute severe hypertension,
acute coronary syndrome, acute stroke and acute heart failure
(acetylsalicylic acid, amlodipine, enalapril, glyceryl trinitrate,
furosemide and heparin sodium).
• Increase in the quantity of hydrochlorothiazide to allow for
treatment of acute severe hypertension.
• Replacement of atenolol by bisoprolol (based on EML update).
12
13. Diabetes
• Inclusion of human insulin (and insulin syringes) for
stabilization of acute life-threatening hyperglycaemia
or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• Inclusion of glucometer and urine test strips for ketones,
glucose and albumin.
13
14. Pulmonary Diseases
• Inclusion of beclomethasone and increase in the amount of
salbutamol inhalers for treatment of acute asthma and acute
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
exacerbation.
• Increase in the quantity of prednisolone 5 mg tablets to
cover treatment of COPD and asthma.
• Inclusion of pulse oximeter for monitoring acute respiratory
distress.
14
15. Other Changes
• Inclusion of morphine tablets (immediate release) 10 mg.
• Replacement of phenobarbital with carbamazepine 200 mg scored
tablet for easier importation.
• Phenobarbital remains a secondary option in case carbamazepine is
not available, or if the country allows for phenobarbital importation.
• Revision of anti-infective medicines (replacement of cloxacillin by
cefalexin to adapt to new recommendations;
– miconazole muco-adhesive tablets by nystatin suspension; and
– removal of procaine benzylpenicillin – the latter two due to
unavailability of quality-assured products).
15
16. Other Changes…
• Removal of promethazine (no longer on EML).
• Replacement of amitriptyline by fluoxetine following EML.
• Increase in the amount of glucose for treatment of acute severe
hypoglycaemia.
• Introduction of new types of sutures to cover skin and face.
• Inclusion of guidelines on mental Health and non/communicable
diseases.
16
17. Cont’d
• Items for treatment of malaria and PEP were changed during an
interim update in 2015 and these changes are incorporated in the
IEHK 2017.
• The main changes from the IEHK 2011 are the following.

Standard emergency health kits
WHO has developed standardized health kits of medicines and medical supplies to meet different health needs in humanitarian emergencies and disasters.
These kits are developed to provide reliable and affordable medicines and supplies quickly to those in need.
The kits are used by United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations and national governments.
Based primarily on WHO’s Essential Medicines list and guidelines on treatment of specific medical conditions, the contents of the kits are frequently reviewed and updated to adapt to changing needs based on experience in emergency situations.
A certain number of kits are prepositioned in strategic locations to be mobilized quickly in times of need.
Long term agreements with suppliers are also in place to ensure rapid shipment wherever needed.
Information on other kits available to complement the IEHK is included in Annex 2.
