conflict and displacement

What are the Epidemiological Challenges in Displacement Settings?

The primary challenges include:
- Disease Surveillance: Accurate and timely data collection is difficult in displacement settings due to mobility and the breakdown of health systems.
- Vaccination Coverage: Ensuring high vaccination coverage is challenging, leading to a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
- Chronic Diseases: Displaced populations often lack access to medications and care for chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
- Mental Health: Conflict and displacement lead to increased rates of mental health disorders, including PTSD and depression.
