| HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (THE MOST IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE) ENGLISH / FRENCH / MANDARIN / SPANISH DOWNLOAD FREE |
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 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), Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ) and other best
available standards. (Although there is a plethora of health care information available from many
different sources, much is not reliable and can actually be harmful.)
-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 (56 posters-available
in two sizes 8.5 x 11 inch Notebook or 11 x 17 inch laminated, as well as power point slides.)
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
evidence-based life-saving information is available from the WHO, CDC and other sources, it seldom
reaches our patients or even their health care providers. This program attempts to meet that need.
HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM (HANDBOOK AND ILLUSTRATIONS)
The numbered information sections of the written Handbook are organized to be used with the
numbered Illustrations. The Handbook format was developed in response to requests by health
care providers, teachers, pastors and other community leaders in developing countries to enable
them to provide ongoing community health care education. The program was developed for use by
non-medical as well as medical people, and can be easily individualized to meet the most important
needs of your community.
The large posters and power point slides are designed to be used by health educators to provide
the most critical community-specific information to larger groups of patients.
The removable notebook size illustrations are to be used by physicians and other educators for
smaller groups and for patient-specific teaching.
We also attempt to present the information in a culturally acceptable manner that will be most
likely to cause a beneficial change in behavior.
In addition, optional italicized sections are included:
-to address community specific diseases such as schistosomiasis
-and to assist medical teams.
