Its all about the basics…. Water Food Infrastructure Diseases (both communicable and non- communicable) Reproductive health Environmental exposures Waste Governments
3
Water Supply and Quantity Requirement = 15L/day Source of illness (share source with livestock) PH strategies: Shipping in fresh supplies Education (water treatment strategies) Upgraded facilities Constant testing
4
Nutrition, Malnutrition and Deficiency Access and availability a primary concern Storage Single species crops Cultural issues PH strategies: Introduction of external supplies Education Nutrient-rich supplements
5
Reproductive, Maternal and Neonatal Health Decreased education and infrastructure (including professionals and supplies) Increased maternal and newborn deaths PH strategies: Education Professional intervention and aide
6
Communicable Disease Linked to food, water, breakdown of infrastructure; difficult to combat List of concerns is long and distinguished VECTORS!!!! PH strategies: Education Immunisation programs Bed net program Vector spraying/environmental manipulation Medications
7
Immunisations Important part of PH teams entering an area Can be costly Break down in infrastructure can result in disruption of treatment and increased transmission
8
Non-communicable Disease Lack of infrastructure leads to lack of treatment The Big ones: HTN Obesity Diabetes Smoking-related illness
9
Environmental Exposures Munitions and land mines Hazardous work practices and ↓ controls Inappropriate handling of hazardous materials increase in public exposure Road accidents Broken infrastructure (physical hazards, syringes…) Flora and fauna can be nasty Noise, radiation, air pollution…
10
Environmental Exposures 2 PH Strategies: Call in the professionals Avoid at all cost Education Introduce effective controls
11
Lack of Infrastructure Decreased services Abuse of services still active PH Strategies Aid agencies Contractors
12
Waste Management Inappropriate storage/handling of wastes Inappropriate management of specialised wastes (i.e. expired med supplies, biological products)
13
People Governments Corruption Heavy population burdens Refugee Migration Limited resources, exposure to new risk/disease People are animals/stupid A given really.
