Factors associated with suboptimal adherence to type 2 diabetes medications among internally displaced persons in camps in Al-Dana subdistrict, Northwest Syria
Chronic disease management is challenging in conflict settings, with fragmented health care systems and unstable access to health care.

This study aimed to assess medication adherence among Syrian IDPs liv…
High caseload of Scabies amongst Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

Climate change, armed conflict, forced displacement, and epidemic-prone diseases
Conflict, environmental factors, forced displacement, and infectious diseases are inextricably linked in northern Syria. These findings can inform public health preparedness and anticipatory activities and policies that address the effects of climate change on infectious diseases.

The aim of this article was to present a report from the field where community engagement and crowdsourcing were used to su…
Differential ethnic approach in disaster risk reduction and management
Colombia is a multicultural country, with ethnic minorities comprising 13% of its population. These ethnic groups have high vulnerability to disasters, not only due to their geographic location, but also because of inequities that exacerbate the vicious cycle of poverty. However, they have developed knowledge and tools to face these disasters that are responsive to their specific needs and should be incorporated into national and sub-national dis…
The Effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Social Inequalities of Health Care Use in Hungary
Primary educated and widowed adults did not follow the general trend, and their prepandemic health care use was not reduced during the pandemic. This shows that although the management of pandemic health care use restrictions was implemented by not increasing social inequity, the drug availability for primary educated individuals could require more support
Public health consequences after ten years of the Syrian crisis
Ten years of the Syrian war had a devastating effect on Syrian lives, including millions of refugees and displaced people, enormous destruction in the infrastructure, and the worst economic crisis Syria has ever faced. The health sector was hit hard by this war, up to 50% of the health facilities have been destroyed and up to 70% of the healthcare providers fled the country seeking safety, which increased the workload and mental pressure for the …
