This is a checklist of major categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization . The ICF Checklist is a practical tool to elicit and record information on the functioning and disability of an individual. This information can b...e summarized for case records (for example, in clinical practice or social work). The checklist should be used along with the ICF or ICF Pocket version.

They constitute the basic information a community rehabilitation worker needs to co...nvey to caregivers, primary health providers and other appropriate user groups. They are primarily visually presented, taking into consideration audiences with limited literacy, with three or four bullet points per page for the community workers to reinforce. The drawings can also be printed on A1 sized flip charts.

It aims to support clinical reasoning, and to provide an effective clinical approach and protocols for the managemen...t of common and serious or potentially life-threatening conditions at district hospitals. The target audience thus includes doctors, clinical officers, health officers, and senior nurse practitioners. It has been designed to be applicable in both high and low HIV prevalence settings.
Volume 2 provides a symptom-based approach to clinical care for acute and subacute conditions (including mental health). It provides short summaries of the management of diseases that affect multiple systems of the body, focusing on communicable diseases. It also includes the chronic or long-term management of HIV, TB, alcohol, and substance use disorders.

The training manuals and introductory folder comes with 8 GB PenDrive, which contains A to Z of the wheelchair provision.

APCA hopes that this guide will be a useful tool i...n aiding health professionals  at all levels of healthcare delivery to assess and manage pain using opioids.  All opioids included in this guide are listed on the WHO model list of  essential medicines but we remind readers that oral morphine is the  standard opioid of choice for managing moderate‑to‑severe pain and  we recommend that it should be made available at all times.
