Right to health in conflict situations 2013, para. 32
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- States, in the aftermath of conflict, are likely to face depletion of resources and experience political instability and disintegration of infrastructure, including health systems. Most post-conflict reconstruction takes place after conflict has subsided to a certain degree, but continues or recurs in some parts of the country. Moreover, States that have already been in conflict situations are more likely to face repeated cycles of violence, which further burdens existing health systems and resources. Additionally, such States are marked by a high burden of disease, both mental and physical.
