Approach to the
acutely ill and injured
Course information
A systematic approach to emergency conditions saves lives, even when specialised care is not available. To this end, the WHO, in collaboration with the ICRC and IFEM, developed the BEC course for first contact health workers who manage acute life-threatening conditions with limited resources. This course introduces a systematic approach to managing time-sensitive critical conditions even before a diagnosis is known. .
