Abstract
Stabilization of the health of refugees and internally displaced persons is the primary objective of emergency relief. Prominent causes of morbidity and mortality have been identified; but prioritizing the emergency health problems has always been problematic in areas experiencing refugee crises. Although measles is listed by Medecins Sans Frontieres as the second most urgent priority the worlds emphasis is on the eradication of poliomyelitis which is not an important cause of morbidity or mortality. It is noted that reproductive health issues have received increased attention. On the other hand infant mortality rates have also increased. Without a systematic approach in addressing priorities the situation would get worse. Carefully targeted appropriately designed applied research is recommended to be helpful in finding solutions.
