Abstract:
Over the years healthcare services during conflict have informed healthcare practice especially in trauma care. Conflict zones have constraints not very different from low-resource settings specifically in dealing with urban violence. Yet, there is limited in-depth study on conflict medicine. This is being slowly recognised in health literature. Two recent papers in International Health have indicated that trauma care packages in conflict settings could be adapted in low-resource settings. There is a need to overview and audit healthcare services in conflict zones further to identify more areas of overlap and possible lessons it holds for improving trauma outcomes in other settings.
