Health

Ensuring people's physical and psychological health is fundamental to any disaster or conflict. The first priority of aid workers is to reduce and prevent the number of people who will die and then to respond to their public health and medical needs.  This can only be done by professionals who are properly trained and who understand the relationship between health and other human rights, such as water and sanitation, shelter and nutrition.

Following our merger with the International Health Exchange (IHE) in 2003 RedR brings a broad range of experience to our UK health courses.

“I have come from Pakistan for this course. It is great that it covers all the demands of emergency conditions. I have learned a lot and will implement what I have learned whenever I can.”  Participant in Public Health in Emergencies course
