Naural disasters entail a variety of public health consequences including mass fatalities and casualities, contagious disease, mental health problems, and long-term disabilities. Sudden onset as well as long-term impact call for a number of public health strategies and their coordination ranging from prevention and preparedness to community-based rehabilitation.
The course aims to provide an overview about natural disasters from a public health perspective and to point students to challenges presently faced by disaster health sciences and health policy. |
