This document is the seventh edition of the Ministry of Health’s officially approved prescribers’ and dispensers’ guide for all levels of
healthcare. Great effort has been put into aligning the prevailing health insurance benefits package to this edition.

The ERF adopts an all-hazards approach and it is therefore a...pplicable in all acute public health events and emergencies.
This version (2024) of the WHO ERF has been developed following extensive consultation across the three levels of the Organization and response experiences over the last five years of emergency response. Key areas have been updated to improve the accountability, predictability, timeliness and effectiveness of WHO’s response to emergencies.
