W.H.O. Guidelines & Historical Background

The CMS ED curriculum follows the World Health Organization's (W.H.O.) recommendations for primary healthcare practices. Established in 1948, W.H.O. has consistently emphasized the importance of primary healthcare in achieving "Health for All." At the primary healthcare level, community health workers and paramedical personnel play a crucial role in health promotion, disease prevention, and the treatment of common illnesses.

Countries in W.H.O.’s South-East Asia Region have prepared lists of essential drugs based on quality, efficacy, safety, availability, and low cost, derived from the W.H.O. model list of essential drugs. Health workers are trained to use simple drugs to treat common illnesses, gain community trust, and recognize when to refer patients to doctors. This knowledge enables them to manage common ailments effectively while understanding the stages of illness that require medical intervention.

This initiative equips healthcare workers with the necessary skills to use essential drugs, manage common illnesses, and address emergencies, such as injuries, burns, and poisoning. The W.H.O. guidelines serve as a foundation, providing clear and practical instructions to empower paramedical and community health workers in their critical roles.
