“The Most Important Healthcare Knowledge”
PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE
Most patients we see in both developed and developing countries
are suffering from diseases that are preventable.
The WHO World Health Report emphasizes the following as one of the most important problems in both developed and developing countries:
“Misdirected care. Resource allocation clusters around curative services at great cost, neglecting the potential of primary prevention and health promoting to prevent up to 70% of the disease burden.”
Of all their healthcare needs, the greatest by far is for reliable health care information. Although life-saving information is available from the best evidence-based sources, it seldom reaches our patients or even their healthcare providers. Many websites provide conflicting, biased and erroneous advice.
This program was created to provide the most important evidence-based healthcare information for “Saving the Most Lives and Preventing the Most Suffering” in the U.S. and globally.
The Program
- empowers physicians, patients, families, churches and the local community to save lives and relieve suffering through health promotion and prevention of their most common and serious health conditions.
- addresses the most important health problems in “developed” as well as “developing” countries
- is based on the most critical global health care needs as specified in the latest WHO World Health Reports.
- emphasizes the top leading risk factors globally that cause the most deaths and suffering.
- includes global pandemics as well as WHO’s three “Slow Motion Disasters” of 1. Non-Communicable Disease (heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, etc.) 2. Climate Change 3. Antibiotic Resistance.
- describes WHO guidelines for prevention and care of our most 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.
- enables 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 lifesaving evidence-based guidelines from the CDC and other WHO collaborating partners.
- includes the written Handbook as well as corresponding 60 full color Illustrations free for downloading in 9 languages:
–The 8.5 x 11 inch PDF files are either viewed directly on mobile phone, computer or projector, or printed in the 8.5 x 11 inch letter-size.
–The 11 x 17 inch PDF Illustration files are used for laminated posters. - provides life-saving evidence-based information for US and global:
–Healthcare organizations (Hospital, Clinic & Community)
–Provider training schools and courses
–Short and long-term missions
–Church/Community Health Education (CHE)
–Church/Community Health Education & Screening (CHE&S)
–Church/Community Health Fairs (Usually includes CHE&S). - enables the integration of primary care and community health at the hospital, clinic/health center, and family/community levels of care. This remains “the key to community transformation and the success of healthcare systems in both developed and developing countries.”
