The NEHK is assembled in accordance with the latest composition published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and in collaboration with other experts in the field of emergency aid.
Improved presentation and packing
Complete kit price: 3,781.00 EUR/kit
During 1998, the presentation and efficiency of the packing of the NEHK has been improved. By experience with difficulties in obtaining import licences for narcotic-, and psychotropic drugs, and the fact that malaria is absent in some regions, have resulted in an adapted packing method:
A standard composition of a Basic unit includes anti-malarial drugs, and is also available without the antimalarial.
A standard Supplementary unit includes all the below mentioned modules, except the tramadol module.
By adding or removing modules with specific drugs to the standard composition of the Supplementary unit, a kit can be customised according to the clients requirements and needs. These modules have been kept and standard compositions on stock, which enables us to arrange quick deliveries.
- anti-malarial drugs,
- narcotic drugs,
- psychotropic drugs (pt) and
- tramadol (to replace narcotic-drugs when a licence is not obtainable)
The modules include:
