Operationalising health in the humanitarian–development–peace nexus (HDPN) in Africa
Humanitarian needs are escalating globally, with around 300 million people requiring assistance—over half in Africa. These crises are increasingly driven by conflict, climate-related disasters and emergencies and economic instability, all severely impacting public health and disrupting health systems. A new approach is essential to address root causes of humanitarian crises and develop durable solutions. In response to this need, the WHO develope…
A policy context and process analysis to implement the Paris Agreement on climate change in the health system of Iran
The study identifies key challenges in implementing the Paris Agreement within Iran's health system, categorized into four main themes: political, economic, international, and cultural/social. Political issues stem from the politicization of climate change and national security concerns. Economically, reliance on oil and sanctions hinder progress, while high technology costs strain resources. Internationally, a lack of binding commitments and tec…
Resilience of Iranian women in natural disasters
To improve the resilience of women in natural disasters, it is necessary to address gender discrimination in policies and planning, including ensuring women's equitable access to education, property ownership, employment, and leadership positions. The root causes of discrimination in various cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions must be addressed. We recommend that disaster management policies include specific components to guarant…
Association between partner violence, and the appearance of symptoms of sexually transmitted infections, and reproductive tract infections among Afghan refugee women in Iran
Based on the results, self-perception of the presence of STIs/RTIs-associated symptoms among the Afghan refugee population is considerable. Moreover, the high prevalence of IPV and its strong links with the self-perception of the presence of STIs/RTIs-associated symptoms underline the urgent need for developing, testing, and implementing appropriate and timely interventions for managing STIs/RTIs and IPV simultaneously in refugee camps/settlement…
Role of hospitals in recovery from Covid-19
Background: COVID-19 highlighted the critical role that hospitals play throughout the prolonged response and continuous recovery stages of the pandemic. Yet, there is limited evidence related to hospitals in the recovery stage, particularly capturing the perspectives of hospital managers and frontliners in resource-restrained and humanitarian settings. Objective: This paper aims to capture the perspectives of hospital managers and frontliners acr…
Deadly floods and their causal factors
Epidemiological modelling in refugee and internally displaced people settlements
The spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 presents many challenges to healthcare systems and infrastructures across the world, exacerbating inequalities and leaving the world’s most vulnerable populations at risk. Epidemiological modelling is vital to guiding evidence-informed or data-driven decision making. In forced displacement contexts, and in particular refugee and internally displaced people (IDP) settlements, it meets several chal…
Risk analysis of hospitals using GIS and Hazus
Health system plan for implementation of Paris agreement on climate change (COP 21)
Evidence-based policy-making is pivotal to develop effective programs to control the health effects of climate change. This research provided policy translation and customization of micro and macro provisions of Paris Agreement on climate change, in line with the political context of health system in Iran. Our finding will pave the ground, we envisage, for further steps towards capacity building and enhancement of resiliency of the health system,…
Iran in transition
Being the second-largest country in the Middle East, Iran has a long history of civilisation during which several dynasties have been overthrown and established and health-related structures have been reorganised. Iran has had the replacement of traditional practices with modern medical treatments, emergence of multiple pioneer scientists and physicians with great contributions to the advancement of science, environmental and ecological changes i…
Prevalence of intimate partner violence and reproductive health outcomes among Afghan refugee women in Iran
Refugee women are at high risk of experiencing high level of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and its negative impacts. We conducted a cross-sectional population-based household survey with refugees in a settlement in the city of Semnan, Iran, from 2016 to 2017. Afghan refugee women (n = 188) with ages between 15 and 49 years were recruited for the survey. Overall, about 79.8% of the participants reported to have experienced a form of IPV in the p…
Post-disaster quality of life among older survivors five years after the Bam earthquake
Older people are among the most vulnerable in major disasters. In their aftermath, it is crucial to institute efforts that will maintain a high level of elders' quality of life (QoL). This paper presents QoL assessments of elderly survivors five years after the Bam earthquake in Iran, and evaluates the determinants. A cross-sectional analysis of 210 randomly-selected survivors was carried out in 2008 using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. A compari…
Older people's needs following major disasters
Elders have long been recognised as among the most vulnerable people in disaster events. This paper reports a qualitative study of the self-perceived needs of older people in the aftermath of the Bam earthquake in Iran in 2003. A total of 56 people aged from 65 to 88 years were recruited to the study using purposive sampling, including 29 men and 27 women. Six focus group discussions and ten semi-structured individual interviews were conducted. E…
