The Oxford Handbook of Humanitarian Medicine is a practical guide
covering all aspects of the provision of care in humanitarian
situations and complex emergencies. It includes evidence-based
clinical guidance, aimed specifically at resource limited
situations, as well as essential non-clinical information relevant
for people working in field operations and development. The
handbook provides clear recommendations, from the experts, on the
unique challenges faced by health providers in humanitarian
settings including clinical presentations for which conventional
medical training offers little preparation. It provides guidance
for syndromic management approaches, and includes practical
guidance on the integration of context specific mental health care.
The handbook goes beyond the clinical domain, however, and also
provides detailed information on the contextual issues involved in
humanitarian operations, including health systems design,
priorities in displacement, security and logistics. It outlines the
underlying drivers at play in humanitarian settings, including
economics, gender based inequities, and violence, guiding the
reader through the epidemiological approaches in varied scenarios.
It details the relevance of international law, and its practical
application in complex emergencies, and covers the changing picture
of humanitarian operations, with increasingly complicated and
chaotic contexts and the escalation of violence against
humanitarian providers and facility. The Oxford Handbook of
Humanitarian Medicine draws on the accumulated experience of
humanitarian practitioners from a variety of disciplines and
contexts to provide an easily accessible source of information to
guide the reader through the complicated scenarios found in
humanitarian settings.
