Conducting Operational Research to Measure or Mitigate Morbidity And Mortality of Populations Affected by Humanitarian Emergencies
Humanitarian emergencies are known for their high rates of morbidity and mortality from infectious and non-communicable conditions and the increased risk of death among vulnerable populations, such as young children, pregnant women and the elderly.
The purpose of the program is to determine:
1) the etiologies; 2) the best practice interventions for prevention; or, 3) the most effective methods to measure these high rates of morbidity and mortality occurring in humanitarian emergencies and protracted conflict settings.
