20252 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

Refugee repatriation disrupted health service delivery in the refugee hosting districts, leading to a reduction in funding; inadequate skilled health workers and equipment; and the closure of some facilities. To ensure the continuity of health services, government and aid agencies should plan for repatriation and establish strategies to sustain health services in refugee-hosting areas.
