Humanitarian Health

Humanitarian health focuses on providing medical care and support during emergencies caused by disasters, conflicts, or crises. It aims to protect vulnerable populations—such as refugees, displaced persons, and those affected by disasters—from health risks like injuries, disease outbreaks, and malnutrition. This field involves rapid response, disease prevention, healthcare delivery, and rebuilding health systems in challenging environments. Overall, it seeks to save lives, alleviate suffering, and restore health services amidst chaos, ensuring that people in crisis receive essential medical assistance regardless of their circumstances.
