RFI: Essential Clinical and Public Health Packages (3)
------------------------------------------------------
 
 
Dear Dr Sharif,
 
I am responding to you recent e-mail to AFRO-NETS, concerning 
the proposed work on health packages for specific levels of 
care.
 
The WHO several years ago started work on a resource planning 
tool, called the Essential Health Care Technology Package 
(EHTP), which can be used to model the resource requirements for 
various levels of care. The system (software based) provides a 
new and unique methodology which links clinical practice guide-
lines, demographic data and health packages. Although, the tool 
cannot be used primarily to determine what services should be 
offered at a specific level of care, it can be used to determine 
the resource requirements and affordability of such services, 
once identified.
 
We would be happy to forward to you further information on the 
EHTP.
 
With kind regards,
 
Peter Heimann
WHO/SPO
