Topic:Health in Post-Conflict and Post-Disaster Settings
Armed conflict, earthquakes, genocide, hurricanes and other major emergencies weaken health systems and reverse development. In post-conflict and post-disaster settings, health needs increase as access to services decrease.
GHI seeks to mitigate negative health consequences in post-conflict and post-disaster settings by providing an opportunity for knowledge sharing so healthcare workers, program managers, researchers and policymakers may discuss interventions and best practices for sustainable development.
