Primary health care and refugees (Primary health care publications)

"In a world where in some parts living conditions are unbearable because of violence, environmental degradation or lack of economic perspectives, more and more people decide to look for a better place to live. Some are permanent emigrants, some are temporary. In some situations the flow of people is sudden and massive. This is especially the case in parts of the world where the emergency situation is acute. These people end up in refugee camps and are not always prepared for their new situation." "The same applies to the health care workers who deal with the problems of these refugees. This publication will look at the various possibilities to set up structural support for refugees in order to get them out of the emergency trap as soon as possible."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
