The other face of emergency
Primary health care in conflict areas
Normal management and supply of health services are not possible
in the middle of a war. Health-care practioners and civilians
are under constant threat, systems break down. As a result,
the ICRC has been using the strategy for primary health care,
or PHC, which was developed by the World Health Organization
and UNICEF. The ICRC adapts the PHC programme according to
the level of conflict. In countries where the fighting has
ended, the ICRC begins long-term projects designed to help
the communities affected rebuild their health-care systems.
This video highlights the ICRC's PHC activities in three countries
with very different challenges - Bosnia, Colombia and Sudan.
Available from the ICRC in English and
French. Length 23 min., Sfr.30. |
