摘要
Large population displacements are always associated with a high rate of mortality due to infectious diseases. Measles immunization, the provision of clean water and sanitation and the effective management of malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia cases are the main measures for preventing excess mortality at the initial phase of a refugee influx. During the postemergency phase, public health activities also target specific issues such as tuberculosis and reproductive health.
