BASIC UNIT, 1 000 persons/3 months IEHK 2018

This basic dispensary kit contains drugs and medical equipment which can be used by an unsupervised health worker, who may or may not have received special training.

The range of drugs is limited: it contains only one antibiotic (amoxicillin in tablet) and no injectable drugs. It is accompanied by simple treatment guidelines in English, French and Spanish.

This kit is designed to provide health care for 1,000 displaced people for 3 months without impinging on the existing health facilities in the receiving area.

The basic unit is divided into 2 modules to be ordered separately:

• KMEDMBAS04A = basic module containing medicines, medical devices: renewable supplies and equipment, stationary
• KMEDMBAS04M = specific module including rapid malaria tests and antimalarial drugs: this module is NOT included in the basic module (= module KMEDMBAS04A) and must be ordered separately if needed.

The kit is part of the Interagency Emergency Health Kit 2018 (IEHK) developed by international agencies (UNHCR, UNFPA UNICEF, WHO, ICRC) together with NGO's (MSF…)
