The doom loop of conflict and unsustainability
Covid-19 epidemiology, health services utilisation and health care seeking behaviour during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Mweso health zone, Democratic Republic of Congo
Background: Although the evidence about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased exponentially since the beginning of the pandemic, less is known about the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic in humanitarian settings. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), most studies occurred in Kinshasa and other cities. Limited research was conducted in remote conflict-affected settings. We investigated the COVID-19 epidemiology, heal…
Covid-19 epidemiology and changes in health service utilization in Uganda’s refugee settlements during the first year of the pandemic
COVID-19 transmission seemed lower in settlement regions than the national average, but so was testing capacity. Disruptions to health services were limited, and mainly affected consultations for acute conditions. This study, focusing on the first year of the pandemic, warrants follow-up research to investigate how susceptibility evolved over time, and how and whether health services could be maintained
The Humanitarian Lives Saved Tool
A shared understanding of key priorities and the path forward is critical to improving reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) in humanitarian emergencies. Stakeholders, including local governments, multilateral, United Nations (UN) agencies, and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners, must plan and implement coherent programs to reduce disease burden while working with available financial resources. However, tools to supp…
Changes in HIV-related behaviours, knowledge and testing among refugees and surrounding national populations
To our knowledge, there is currently no published data on the prevalence of risky sex over time as displaced populations settle into long-term post-emergency refugee camps. To measure trends in HIV-related behaviours, we conducted a series of cross-sectional HIV behavioural surveillance surveys among refugees and surrounding community residents living in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, at baseline in 2004/2005 and at follow-up in 2010/2011. We select…
Health-care needs of people affected by conflict
Prevalence of HIV infection in conflict-affected and displaced people in seven sub-Saharan African countries
Using Design Effects From Previous Cluster Surveys to Guide Sample Size Calculation in Emergency Settings
A good estimate of the design effect is critical for calculating the most efficient sample size for cluster surveys. We reviewed the design effects for seven nutrition and health outcomes from nine population-based cluster surveys conducted in emergency settings. Most of the design effects for outcomes in children, and one-half of the design effects for crude mortality, were below two. A reassessment of mortality data from Kosovo and Badghis, Afg…
HIV/Aids among Conflict-affected and Displaced Populations
Conflict, displacement, food insecurity and poverty make affected populations more vulnerable to HIV transmission. However, the common assumption that this vulnerability necessarily translates into more HIV infections and consequently fuels the HIV/AIDS epidemic is not supported by data. Whether or not conflict and displacement affect HIV transmission depends upon numerous competing and interacting factors. This paper explores and explains the ep…
The Application of Geographic Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems in Humanitarian Emergencies
Geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems and remote sensing have been increasingly used in public health settings since the 1990s, but application of these methods in humanitarian emergencies has been less documented. Recent areas of application of GIS methods in humanitarian emergencies include hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessments; rapid assessment and survey methods; disease distribution and outbreak investigation…
The Accuracy of Mortality Reporting in Displaced Persons Camps During the Post-emergency Phase
For humanitarian organisations, accurate data are essential to identify emerging health problems and determine programme needs. We visited 45 post-emergency phase displaced persons camps and collected three months' mortality data which we compared with organisations' routine mortality reports. Organisations reported 612 deaths and we identified 741 deaths, for a mortality-reporting ratio, defined as the number of organisation-reported deaths divi…
Health Issues Affecting Displaced Populations
The field of humanitarian response has made tremendous strides over the past decade. In the Cambodian refugee camps in the 1980s, the establishment of
Notes from the Field in Kigoma, Tanzania
In these short notes the authors provide some insight to their visit to displaced persons camps in Kigoma, Tanzania. This trip marks the fourth set of camps examined in the Post Emergency Phase Indicators Project, a joint collaboration between the Johns Hopkins Center for Refugee and Disaster Studies, and the International Emergency and Refugee Health Branch at the Centers for Disease Control
