Abstract

Conflict alone is a poor predictor for child health. Ensuring that children in unaffected provinces are not neglected while addressing the needs of the most vulnerable in conflict settings is important. Prevent, protect and treat strategies for diarrhoeal disease could help improve equity in child survival.
