The Interagency Emergency Health Kit 2006 (IEHK 2006) is the third edition of the WHO Emergency Health Kit which was the first such kit when it was launched in 1990. This updated third edition takes into account the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, the increasing parasite resistance to commonly available anti-malarials and the field experience of agencies using the emergency health kit. The emergency health kit is based on the health needs of 10,000 people for a period of three months. This document provides background information on the composition and use of the emergency health kit.
