HS 209F — Community Health in Conflict Situations

Meets for one-half semester and yields half-course credit.

Provides an overview of key issues related to provision of health care in a conflict situation and different approaches on addressing them illustrated by real life examples. Internal conflicts are taking a heavy toll in people’s lives, livelihoods, and assets - both physical and social. Students will examine the challenges development practitioners working in conflict situations face in meeting basic health needs of affected people. Usually offered every year.
