KIT, 001, medical modules, 2 000 L

Indications

Medical support, sent to a pre-existing health structure located in an area where a cholera epidemic breaks out. The logistic supplies are purchased locally, and the health structure has already 2000 l of infusions in stock.

Specifications

This kit is specially designed for refugee camps. It can also be used for urban or rural populations, although being less adapted.

It is composed of medical modules with only one infusions module of 2 000 l. This kit is proposed because of the transport costs of infusions modules. If quality assured Ringer lactate (Hartmann) has been identified and validated by your section pharmacist or if you have quality assured Ringer lactate in your emergency stock, you can consider ordering the kit.

Instructions for use

It is mandatory to have minimum 4000 l of Ringer Lactate (Hartmann) to one's disposal for the IV treatment of 500 cholera patients.

An underestimation of needs which could lead to infusion stocks running out during an epidemic is always more expensive than ordering 4000 l in the first place.
