Natural disasters and complex humanitarian emergencies(CHEs)
4 important questions on Natural disasters and complex humanitarian emergencies(CHEs)
What is the importance of natural disasters and complex emergencies to global health?
Complex emergencies and natural disasters can lead to increased death, illness, disability and the economic costs of their health impacts can also be very large. Measures are most effective when
those involved in disaster relief work together according to agreed-upon standards that focus on the most important priorities for action.
The health effects of complex humanitarian emergencies;
Illness, disability and death come about as an indirect result of emergencies. These stem from malnutrition, the lack of safe water and sanitation, shortage of food, and breakdowns in health
services. They are exacerbated by the crowded and difficult circumstances in which people have to live when they are
displaced. The data on the breakdown of deaths by age in CHEs suggest that child mortality rates early in the CHE are 2 to 3 times that of adults.
Violence against women in CHEs
The security conditions during CHEs put women at considerable
risk of sexual violence. Rape may be used as a weapon of war. In addition, the chaos and economic distresses of conflict situations place women at risk of sexual violence and sometimes force them to trade sex for food or money, what many call ‘survival sex’

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Addressing the health effects of CHE's
It is difficult to take measures that can prevent complex humanitarian emergencies from occurring and harming human health because these emergencies so often relate to civil conflict. Thus, the key to avoiding such problems lies in the political realm and in the avoidance of conflict, rather than by taking measures that are directly health related. Primary prevention in such
circumstances, therefore means stopping the violence. It would be prudent if organizations, countries and international bodies
would cooperatively establish contingency plans for areas of likely conflict.
