Scoping review reveals armed conflict impacts public health, affecting women and children, implying urgent need for health interventions.
This scoping review revealed that armed conflict in Ethiopia has had a profound and interrelated impact on public health, disproportionately affecting women, children, and internally displaced populations. The findings underscore the urgent need for coordinated, multisectoral interventions that restore essential health services, strengthen mental health support, and ensure continuity of care for chronic and infectious diseases. Future research should focus on underexplored areas such as nutrition, malaria, and chronic disease management using diverse and longitudinal study designs.
