Barriers and Facilitators to Delivering Effective Services

Overview

There are huge challenges in providing health services in conflict settings, mainly due to the changing nature of conflict, the extent and number of emergencies, as well as constant security issues and breaches.

Humanitarian actors, both local and international, as well as national authorities must navigate and negotiate multiple obstacles that challenge the delivery of essential WCH services interventions in conflict settings. Nonetheless, humanitarian organizations can also find creative solutions to respond to the health needs of women, newborns, children and adolescents in conflict-affected settings.
