Introduction to Public Health Engineering in Humanitarian Contexts

The world is facing unprecedented humanitarian needs. Today's humanitarian crises are more numerous, occur frequently in urban areas, last longer, and have a broader regional impact. They cause widespread human suffering, disrupt essential services such as water supply and sanitation, and jeopardize the health of a large population. Engineers and technical specialists in the fields of water, sanitation, energy, the environment, and other related fields are critical in meeting these challenges and growing demands. They are known as public health engineers in the humanitarian sector, and they are in high demand today! Why is public health engineering so important in humanitarian situations? And how do its associated activities take place in such a complex environment? This is what this Introduction to Public Health Engineering in Humanitarian Contexts is all about!
