Public Health Issues in Conflict and Displacement
The session on Public Health Issues in Conflict and Displacement will examine the public health challenges of access to healthcare, infectious disease control, nutrition, and sanitation faced by people in conflict and war, as well as by those forcibly displaced from their homes.
At PHWC 2026, experts will discuss how to deliver better healthcare services, strengthen healthcare systems, improve emergency response, and provide aid to vulnerable populations. This session will also feature presentations on international collaboration and successful public health interventions for the displaced.
There will also be discussion at this workshop about how to coordinate humanitarian assistance, provide mobile health care services, and implement community-level initiatives to better help refugees and other displaced people. Mental health needs will be addressed during this workshop with respect to maintaining continuity of care and preventing the spread of disease in overcrowded housing environments. All discussion about these topics will focus on the use of effective public health responses in providing support to refugees in various situations, as demonstrated by the presented case studies. This workshop will put an emphasis on strengthening the cooperative relationship between governments, non-governmental organisations, and international agencies involved in the delivery of humanitarian assistance to refugees. The use of data collection and monitoring reports to improve humanitarian response plans will also be analysed. By promoting collaboration and innovation, this workshop hopes to strengthen the health systems and improve health outcomes for people affected by conflict and displacement.
The wars and forced migrations cause serious public health issues, ranging from malnutrition to infectious disease epidemics. This Public Health World Conference (PHWC) session will explore how access to healthcare for refugees and displaced persons can be enhanced. Policies for including displaced people in national healthcare systems and continuing care will be debated among experts. The session will be supported by successful case studies conducted in refugee camps and conflict zones. International organization's involvement in offering humanitarian health assistance will be analyzed. Participants will be informed on mental health assistance strategies specific to conflict-affected populations.
