DiscussionDiscussion
The health emergency continues evenafter war and displacement subside CMR and U5MR remain unacceptably high Typical pattern of infectious diseases
Did these surveys have an impact for the health of these populations?
How do we use mortality surveys to focus attention on post-war health crises?
Do we really even understand post-war health crises?
WHAT
NOW?
