  Relief workers face rapidly changing and complex environments, new disease patterns, enormous humanitarian needs and relatively limited resources. The authors of this book use their experience in the area to produce an operational manual of the issues involved in refugee health programmes. This book is aimed at professionals involved in public health assistance to refugees and displaced persons. It deals with a variety of specific refugee health issues at decisional level, and discusses the priorities of intervention during the different phases of a refugee crisis, from emergency to repatriation.
