conflict and instability

How Does Conflict Affect Disease Transmission?

Conflict zones often experience breakdowns in public health infrastructure, leading to increased disease transmission. Displacement of populations, poor living conditions, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation are common in such areas. These factors contribute to the spread of diseases such as cholera, measles, and malaria. Furthermore, conflict can hinder vaccination campaigns and other preventive measures, exacerbating the public health crisis.
