Emergency and essential surgical care

Integrated Management for Emergency and Essential Surgical Care (IMEESC) tool kit

(IMEESC) tool kit

The WHO Integrated Management for Emergency & Essential Surgical Care e-learning toolkit (CD) has been developed by the Clinical Procedures Unit in collaboration with the GIEESC programme. This tool targets policy-makers, managers, and health-care providers (surgeons, anaesthetists, non-specialist doctors, health officers, nurses, and technicians). This tool contains WHO recommendations for minimum standards in emergency, surgery, trauma, obstetrics and anaesthesia at first-referral level health-care facilities.

Application

The WHO IMEESC toolkit is introduced in countries through WHO and Ministry of Health training workshops for use in the development of policy, training curriculum, emergency equipment lists for resuscitation, needs assessment, and as teaching tools (video, self learning, powerpoint, presentation, agenda, trainer's guide, report and best practices), research, monitoring & evaluation, and quality & safety. The tool is also used to teach safety during clinical procedures, infection control and HIV prevention as well as management of disaster situations.
