IEHK
Definition
Interagency Emergency Health Kit
Explanation
The IEHK 2017 is designed 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.
The kit contains essential drugs, supplies and equipment to be used for a limited period of time and target a defined number of people.
