The Oxford Handbook of Humanitarian Medicine was launched on May 31 at Université Laval in Montreal.
The publication features contributions from Director James Orbinski, titled "Humanitarianism Today," and Jennifer Turnbull, who is involved in the Dahdaleh Institute project Chemical Water Quality & Malnourished Child Health. She co-edited and authored five chapters, including the introduction and "Health priorities in displacement," and "Approach to paediatric care."
The publication is a long-awaited essential reference book about humanitarian medicine, providing practical information, decision-making frameworks and context-specific insight.
