Armed conflict and public health interact in many different ways. This report explores the interfaces between health, armed conflict and global security by looking for answers to the following three questions. How does violent conflict adversely affect the health of people living through it? How do adverse health conditions affect conflict/security? And how can the delivery of health services play a role in reducing conflict? This report has reviewed the different ways public health, armed conflict and global security interact through a desk study of published and unpublished work.
