Johns Hopkins University Center for Humanitarian Health
2024
The Johns Hopkins University Center for Humanitarian Health is a collaborative academic program conducted jointly by the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, and the School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University. The Center partners with national and international non-governmental organizations, multilateral and United Nations organizations, government agencies, and other research institutions, drawing from multiple disciplines including epidemiology, demography, emergency and disaster medicine, health systems management, nutrition and food security, environmental engineering, mental health, political science, and human rights. It engages in humanitarian health research; provides education and training on humanitarian health science to individuals, governments, and organizations; and seeks to empower individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to practically apply related skills and expertise. The Center’s resource portal features tools, toolkits, guidelines, videos, and related resources of interest to healthcare professionals, researchers, and program managers working in emergency settings and providing humanitarian assistance.
The Center is home to the Humanitarian Health Digest, a quarterly bibliography of published peer-reviewed articles on humanitarian health, launched in 2018. A collaboration between the Center and The Lancet, the Digest curates and comments on recent publications in three categories of humanitarian health: conflict and forced displacement, natural disasters, and technological disasters.
