Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 2
This course, Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 2, focuses on the public health concerns of people who have been affected by natural or conflict-related disasters. It discusses the many changes that occur in people's lives when they are uprooted by a disaster, as well as many important topics related to humanitarian crises, such as when there is an epidemic or a public health emergency; what is meant by the humanitarian-development nexus; disaster epidemiology and surveillance basics; humanitarian principles; and other important topics. Learners will consider what humanitarian interventions might entail if disasters are to be mitigated.
This course is a continuation of Public Health in Humanitarian Crises 1, which covered disease patterns, access to health care, livelihoods, shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, and other topics. The content of the course is a mix of theoretical knowledge and numerous real-world examples from recent disasters. This course is unique in that it includes so many practical "real-life" examples and is taught by instructors and guest lecturers with a combined experience of more than 200 years in this field. The course is divided into ten modules with a total delivery time of 14-16 hours and an additional 2-3 hours of self-work.
