Conflict and Health is a highly-accessed, open access journal documenting the public health impacts and responses related to armed conflict, humanitarian crises and forced migration. The journal provides a global platform to disseminate insightful and impactful studies. These span a broad range of public health topics including infectious disease prevention and control, nutrition, reproductive and maternal health, sexual and gender-based violence, mental health, non-communicable diseases, health systems, and ethics in conflicts and humanitarian crises. Supported by a global editorial board, Conflict and Health welcomes quantitative and qualitative studies and perspectives.
The journal serves as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together researchers, health professionals, policymakers, and humanitarian actors. By fostering this dialogue, the journal promotes comprehensive approaches to humanitarian challenges that integrate public health, political science, and socio-economic perspectives. Additionally, through strategic editorials and themed issues, the journal can influence global health policies and humanitarian agendas, advocating for systemic changes that enhance the resilience of health systems in conflict-affected regions.
