Rehabilitation During Conflicts

Overview

Rehabilitation during conflict focuses on restoring functioning, preventing complications, and supporting reintegration into community life. Early rehabilitation reduces complications, shortens hospital stays, and improves long-term recovery.

Rehabilitation in conflicts is essential for:

• Persons with new conflict-related injuries such as fractures, amputations, burns, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and peripheral nerve injuries;
• Persons with existing disabilities, functional limitations, or health conditions whose usual services are disrupted during conflict and; and
• Supporting psychological and social recovery from the trauma and displacement associated with conflict.
