OUR WORK IN HEALTH
Health is a central focus in humanitarian and development aid, aiming to provide essential care during crises such as conflict, disaster or displacement. It addresses both urgent needs – like injuries and disease – and long-term challenges including malnutrition and mental health.
The impact of health
Health is not just about treatment, but the foundation for survival, recovery, and rebuilding lives after crises.
Saves lives
Reduces deaths and prevents diseases during emergencies.
Protects vulnerable groups
Supports those most at risk, like children, women, and displaced populations.
Prevents wider crises
Controls outbreaks and mitigates long-term health impacts.
Builds resilience
Strengthens local health systems to better withstand future challenges.
“I saw they were setting up a health camp nearby, so I asked what it was for. They told me it was to provide healthcare and vaccinate people against COVID. I was relieved that I wouldn’t have to travel far to get vaccinated.”
