World Health Organization (WHO)
How WHO thinking guides our health camps, awareness work, and our courses — especially CMS & ED for accountable Primary Health Workers.
How we use WHO guidance — honestly
Jan Ayush Sansthan is not part of WHO. We are an India-focused institution (since 2007) that runs social health camps and awareness so families in rural and semi-urban areas act earlier. Through our courses, we train Primary Health Workers — especially via CMS & ED — with first aid, syllabus-aligned essential medicines within law, and prompt referral when hospitals or specialists are needed. They are a first line of support, not registered specialist doctors.
WHO-informed teaching
Classroom and field orientation draw on WHO primary-care ideas — Alma-Ata, rational medicines, prevention — adapted for Indian villages and small towns, always with clear legal limits.
Community standards
Respectful examination at camps, simple language, documentation where needed, and escalation to PHC/CHC or higher centres — not false reassurance at the doorstep.
Essential Medicines
WHO Model List context, rational use, and how CMS & ED studies essential medicines (~42 in syllabus) — tap for the full guide.
About World Health Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. Established on 7 April 1948, WHO's primary role is to direct and coordinate international health within the United Nations system.
WHO's Mission
WHO's mission is to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. The organization works worldwide to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. WHO's goal is to ensure that a billion more people have universal health coverage, to protect a billion more people from health emergencies, and provide a further billion people with better health and well-being.
Our courses & WHO thinking
We connect WHO’s “Health for All” spirit to work families can trust on the ground:
- Health camps & awareness: screening, prevention messaging, and referral-ready signposting in community camps — complementing, not replacing, emergency or specialist care
- CMS & ED (when you need detail): 18-month diploma preparing Primary Health Workers — first aid, syllabus-aligned essential medicines, records, and prompt referral; see full CMS & ED page and Supreme Court context (14/02/2003) there — not MBBS/BAMS
- Essential medicines education: WHO Essential Medicines and rational use — teaching within Indian drug law and employer scope
- Other diplomas: DEMS (Jan Ayush) and naturopathy/yoga programmes coordinated with MPYPCP (operating since 2007) — see our courses and MoU
- Prevention & literacy: hygiene, NCD risk, maternal/child basics, and India-relevant awareness topics
- Honest outcomes: completing a course does not guarantee employment, independent prescribing, or the title “Doctor” for allopathic practice — law and registration decide scope
WHO Guidelines We Follow
Alma-Ata Declaration
Primary healthcare as the foundation of health systems.
Health Promotion
Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion.
Universal Coverage
Universal Health Coverage principles.
Our commitment
We study WHO publications and lists to teach safer habits and clearer referral — not to claim WHO endorsement. Camps, study materials, and admission information are updated when national guidance or our prospectus changes. Learners and communities deserve plain language: what we can help with locally, and what must go to a registered clinician or hospital without delay.
