HEALTH CARE THAT IS NEEDED!!
When you do this school you will be introduced to the essential health care needs of the poor and needy. They are water, sanitation, communicable diseases, waterborne diseases, how to present a health teaching, nutrition issues, the essential drugs needed, maternal health, children's health, hands on practical advise related to eyes ears, nose and throat and wound care, skin problems, how to diagnose and treat. Generally the health care needs of the poor and needy relate to those illnesses that could easily have been prevented. Primary Health Care is both curative and preventative in its approach

Why would you want to be involved in primary health care? Many people ask, "I always wanted to go to the poor and do something, but I didn't know how?" The IPHC will give you knowledge and skills to do something!
Every day 6000 people between 15 & 24 years of age become infected with the HIV virus. That is 4 people every minute!
In as many as 35 of the poorest countries, 30-50% of the population have no access to health services at all.
"I came to do my Primary Health care School in 1998, because I wanted to help the poor…I wanted to do something…not just words but actions…I wanted to demonstrate God's love." (Nirina, from Madagascar, leader of the Compassion DTS)
Half of all children under 5 years of age in South Asia are malnourished. 60% of women there are underweight.
Malaria affects 300 million people in more than 100 countries each year.
There are still 30 million infants not protected by routine vaccination in developing countries. 11 million children die from preventable causes each year.
Tuberculosis is the main cause of death from a single infectious agent among adults.
Acute respiratory illness is a leading cause of mortality in young children, killing nearly 2 million children under the age of 5 in developing countries each year.
Just think…in less than one year you can get out...
