SUMMARY:Reducing under 5 mortality in fragile states: promising interventio
 ns amidst large gaps
DESCRIPTION:Séminaire scientifique organisé par l'Institut de recherche e
 n santé publique de l'Université de Montréal – IRSPUM

 ffiche du séminaire
\nConférencier :Ruwan Ratnayake has been the Senior
  Epidemiologist (now consultant) with the International Rescue Committee s
 ince 2011\, and with deployments for outbreak response to WHO. He focuses 
 on epidemic control\, large-scale child health program evaluations\, and o
 perational research for decision-making\, all within humanitarian crises (
 armed conflict\, epidemics). He has published extensively and was Editor-i
 n-Chief of Conflict and Health. His current research focuses on non-commun
 icable disease care in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Syria and the 
 cholera outbreak response in Yemen (with Johns Hopkins University). Finall
 y\, Ruwan trained with the Canadian Field Epidemiology Program here with t
 he Montréal Public Health Department.
\nRésumé :Despite tremendous succ
 ess with 30% of countries reducing child mortality by two thirds between 1
 990 and 2015 (Millennium Development Goal 4)\, fragile and conflict-affect
 ed situations lag behind. Challenges in health system development endure l
 ong after the conflict has ceased. Sierra Leone\, for example is considere
 d a post-conflict state. At 120.4 deaths per 1\,000 live births in 2015\, 
 its under-five mortality rate ranks under only Angola\, Chad\, Somalia\, a
 nd Central African Republic. This analysis will first focus on the endurin
 g determinants of high under-five mortality rates in fragile states\, as w
 ell as promising interventions and strategies\, to address insecurity\, un
 der-investment in health systems\, and limited human resources for health.
  Second\, developments in epidemiological methods used in large-scale chil
 d health program evaluations in fragile and conflict-affected situations w
 ill be discussed.
