Discusses how health professionals and public health coordinators working in emergencies prevent, detect and control the major communicable diseases encountered by affected populations. The term “complex emergencies” is coined to describe situations of war or civil strife affecting large civilian populations with food shortages and population displacement, resulting in excess mortality and morbidity. Deals with the fundamental principles of communicable disease control in emergencies, which are, rapid assessment, prevention, surveillance, outbreak control and disease management.
