Guidelines

This library lists the clinical, public health and management guidelines used across the ASF Health Standards v10. Each guideline is grouped under the V10 standard it supports. The original issuer is named on every entry. Each entry links to the full text in the GMJ Guidelines Library (news.gmj.ge), where the document is held.

The library holds 782 guidelines across the 63 standards. Some guidelines support more than one standard, so they appear under each relevant standard. The library is reviewed and extended every month as the standards development team updates the standards.

Standard 4 is reserved in ASF Health Standards v10 and has no guidelines. Standard 64 is not part of v10.
