With 130 million people in need of humanitarian assistance worldwide and health emergencies at an all-time high, the World Health Organization (WHO) works with partners to support countries facing emergencies such as disease outbreaks, natural or man-made disasters or conflicts. This webcast interviews experts about the health response during emergencies. The show overviews WHO’s new Health Emergency Programme, the international humanitarian laws that govern during conflicts, the status of current outbreaks and the mental and psychosocial support available for the populations affected. Health in emergencies was one of three subjects covered during this year’s World Health +SocialGood - a livestreamed show broadcast live during the 69th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, May 24-26, 2016. Produced in collaboration by WHO and the UN Foundation, this year’s World Health +SocialGood provides a behind-the-scenes look into three key issues: antimicrobial resistance, sustainable development goals and emergencies. All three shows are available on WHO's Youtube channel.
