People have asked me what kind of school IPHC is, well here is a tidbit on what we are going to learn:God's heart for the Poor; the way that Jesus healed.
We will be introduced to the essential health care needs of the poor and needy. There are water, sanitation, communicable diseases, waterborne diseases, how to present a health teaching, nutrition issues, the essential drugs needed, maternal health, children's health, hands on practical advice related to eyes, ears, nose and throat and wound care, skin problems, how to diagnose and treat.
How to minister to malnourished children; women and children's health; setting up a health clinic; how to teach and train in needy communities with simple health care messages;
God's character of compassion;
helping those with nutritional deficiencies; water - a vital source for health; curing those with worms; diarrhea; Preventing major diseases in the world today such as HIV/AIDS; Tuberculosis; learning to DO health care and more importantly teach others.
