The H.E.L.P. course aims to equip professionals working in varied sectors to enhance their skills in response during health emergencies in large populations due to natural disasters, complex crises or disease outbreaks, with a focus on decision-making in crises. The course puts emphasis on affected people, in their context and uses a public health approach, fostering multidisciplinary responses and bringing out challenges, dilemmas, norms, standards and principles. It adopts participatory teaching based on concrete situations and decision-taking, group work in problem solving, simulations of disasters and presentations by the participants.
It is a two-week on-site training on the principles and practices of humanitarian interventions in response to the needs of the people affected by acute and protracted crises and natural disasters. The course was created in 1986 by the ICRC in partnership with WHO and the University of Geneva, to professionalise the provision of humanitarian assistance during emergencies. Since its inception in 1986, about 4,000 professionals have been trained under this course.
Participants are selected according to their professional experience and background. The last date for applications is 22 November 2018.
