Enduring War and Health Inequality in Sri Lanka (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781852010218)

The 25 year long armed conflict in Sri Lanka has caused suffering to the people of Sri Lanka, and in particular to the Tamil-speaking people of the North-East of the country.'Enduring War and Health Inequality in Sri Lanka' examines the wider impact of war on the health of the population in the North-East and the violation of human rights. Over two decades, public health has markedly deteriorated due to a ruined infrastructure, the exodus of health care professionals and mass displacement of people. This report concludes with recommendations to the main players of the conflict, the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE, the international community and UN organisations working on health.
