6 NORAID - MODULE BASED CLINICAL SYSTEM THE NORAID MODULES ARE ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO; Meet WHO s requirements for Primary Health Care and Preventional Health Work both in disasterareas and on a permanent basis for a population of 3000 people for 1 month. Reach the most vulnerable groups, which in practice means fighting the under-5 mortality rate and mortality among women, related to pregnancy and birth. Initiate, improve and maintain Primary Health Care and Preventional Health Work during disasters. Contribute to epidermilogic surveillance, disease control and treatment.

8 THE SURGICAL SUPPLY KIT A KIT DEVELOPED BY THE NORWEGIAN COUNCIL OF HEALTH PREPAREDNESS The kit is estimated to cover the needs of medical disposable equipment for approximately 100 surgical in-patients for 10 days, particularly in the post-operative phase. The kit contains all essential medical disposables; Bandages, compresses, drains, tubes, syringes, needles, catheters, infusion accessories, gloves, sutures, burn dressings, hygiene equipment, plaster of Paris and sterilization accessories. The kit was orginally designed for use in the Norwegian Health Preparedness, but is now widely used on an international basis. 8

9 THE NORCARE BED EQUALLY SUITED FOR BOTH EMERGENCY CONDITIONS AND LONG-TERM The NorCare Bed is a light weight bed, capable of enduring maximum stress and weight. In a field hospital setting, the high quality of the NorCare Bed makes it suitable for both internal medical and surgical inpatients. A height of 67 cm between floor and patient facilitates getting in and out of bed for the patient, and gives medical staff a good working position. The NorCare Bed measures only 5 cm in height before assembly. This is an obvious advantage when focus is on reducing shipping costs. 9
