Important information about visiting us.

Explore the importance of public health in fragile and conflict-affected states and understand how equal access to good health care is a critical component of post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding. Analyze short-term delivery of public health in conflict situations as well as long-term development of the public health sector.

Participants will learn how to manage the challenges, rewards, and trade-offs of efforts to deliver health care in countries immersed in ongoing conflicts, countries in transition from war to peace, and countries addressing the legacy of conflict.

Participants will also assess the impact of health care on government legitimacy and effectiveness.

Case studies will include Afghanistan and Mozambique.
