dc.description.abstractAn increasing concern of public health is the relationship between health and human security in conflict and post-conflict settings.1 Environments where conflicts have taken place are associated with the breakdown of public health infrastructure, massive displacement of people and disruption of livelihoods.2,3,4 Thus the processes and outcomes of violent conflict have implications for health and well-being, including recovery processes in post-conflict settings. Violent conflict is also closely related to “structural violence”, which broadly includes “violence of poverty, social and political marginalization, and other forms of structured inequalities and their effects on people’s lives, health and agency.”5 This underscores the need to understand how the health and wellbeing of people in post-conflict settings is influenced by violent conflict, antecedents to the conflict, or the complex intersection of both.6 This complex relationship raises questions about the challenges of ensuring human security in post-conflict settings especially in developing countries where public service delivery systems, including health and health care delivery, are already constrained.en_US
