PY - 2022 T2 - Maxcy-Rosenau-Last Public Health & Preventive Medicine, 16e AB - Armed conflict causes serious and widespread consequences for public health. It accounts for much injury, disease, disability, and premature death and damages the health-supporting infrastructure of society. It contaminates the air, water, and soil and harms the physical environment. It forcibly displaces people and violates human rights and international treaties. It diverts human and financial resources away from healthcare, public health, and social services; it often leads to more violence.1 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/16 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1182682281 ER -
