- Abstract
"The health of a society is critical to its capacity to withstand conflict and to rebuild communities in a post-conflict situation. This paper explores the complexity of the relationships involving health, humanitarian crises and development. There are obviously many areas important in conflict prevention, humanitarian assistance and peace-building. Within an atmosphere of conflicting priorities, this paper aims to explore the links between health and peace-building, how health planning can be enhanced by making reference to a peace-building framework, and how a model for analysis may be developed to assist in the planning, implementation and monitoring of health programs in conflict-affected societies.
