The effects of armed conflict on the health of women and children
Covid-19 control in low-income settings and displaced populations
COVID-19 prevention strategies in resource limited settings, modelled on the earlier response in high income countries, have thus far focused on draconian containment strategies, which impose movement restrictions on a wide scale. These restrictions are unlikely to prevent cases from surging well beyond existing hospitalisation capacity; not withstanding their likely severe social and economic costs in the long term. We suggest that in low-income…
The relationship between armed conflict and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition status and services in northeastern Nigeria
It is assumed that armed conflict would have a negative impact on the health status of the affected population, but pre-conflict indicators can be so depressed that this effect is difficult to measure. When this is the case, health sector intervention by the international community can often result in marked improvements in the accessible population. What might happen upon the departure of the humanitarian organizations cannot be predicted with a…
Rebuilding and strengthening health systems and providing basic health services in fragile states
The international community has compelling humanitarian, political, security and economic reasons to engage in rebuilding and strengthening health systems in fragile states. Improvements in health services and systems help to strengthen civil society and to restore legitimacy to governments. Effective engagement with fragile states to inform the design of health programmes and selection of interventions depends on donor coordination and an unders…
Rebuilding health systems to improve health and promote statebuilding in post-conflict countries
Lessons learned from complex emergencies over past decade
A Population-Based Assessment of Human Rights Abuses Committed Against Ethnic Albanian Refugees From Kosovo
Objectives. This study assessed patterns of displacement and human rights abuses among Kosovar refugees in Macedonia and Albania. Methods. Between April 19 and May 3, 1999, 1180 ethnic Albanian refugees living in 31 refugee camps and collective centers in Macedonia and Albania were interviewed. Results. The majority (68%) of participants reported that their families were directly expelled from their homes by Serb forces. Overall, 50% of participa…
Public Health in Complex Emergencies
Public health and complex emergencies
Public health practice in complex emergencies has become increasingly sophisticated and well informed over the course of the past quarter century. Humanitarian relief organizations have learned many lessons in the areas of food, water and sanitation, shelter, and primary health. However, closer scrutiny from the media and funding agencies, together with changing conditions and an increasingly insecure environment, will require that changes be mad…
Assessing the quality of facility-based child survival services
The facility-based assessment (FBA) method is a co-ordinated set of data collection activities, designed to determine the extent to which children are properly diagnosed and effectively treated at health facilities. Eleven African countries have conducted facility-based assessments since 1986, with support from the African Child Survival Initiative-Combatting Childhood Communicable Diseases project. Components of the FBA include observations of h…
Diagnosis and management of acute respiratory infections in Lesotho
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) accounted for 24% of deaths in hospitalized children under 5 years old in Lesotho in 1987, but little is known about how such infections are diagnosed and treated in this mountainous country of southern Africa. As a first step in developing a national programme to reduce infant and child mortality caused by respiratory infection, a survey of medical practitioners was conducted to determine whether current World …
Using surveys in Mozambique for evaluation of diarrhoeal disease control
Mozambique has used surveys extensively to evaluate its Diarrhoeal Diseases Control programme; topics have included diarrhoea morbidity and mortality, health centre management and home follow-up, diarrhoea prevalence and dehydration, and household knowledge. The surveys found high diarrhoeaassociated morbidity and mortality ratas. Although knowledge rates about oral rehydration salts (ORS) were between 88% and 93%, problems in the programme inclu…
