Protecting Vulnerable Groups in a Refugee Camp
Scenario: You have been assigned to supervise public health activities in a refugee camp in the Middle East. There has been an outbreak of measles among some of the children. In addition, you are concerned about the safety and special health needs of women and older adults in the camp. It is impossible to know when the displaced children and adults will be able to return home. For the time being, they will remain in the camp you oversee so you must plan for the long term. Develop a plan for the three groups of refugees in the camp guided by the questions below:
1) Children: What is your strategy to protect other children and adults from contracting the measles? What are some of the other issues to consider for the children in your camp? How will you address them?
2) Women: What unique issues do women face in refugee camps or conflict zones? How will you address their needs in the camp?
3) Older adults: What special needs may older adults in your camp have? What is your plan to address their needs?
4) All groups: What organizations might you work with to deliver comprehensive health and other services for the residents in your camp?
5) All groups: What difficulties do you anticipate?
