DESCRIPTION
This paper analyzes the impact that the political instability, economic volatility, infrastructural collapse, and human resource scarcity of fragile states have on their respective health systems. There is a particular focus on sexual and reproductive health in these fragile, post-conflict states. It is determined that fragile states usually carry a heavier burden of illness and disease, primarily amongst their vulnerable populations. Mental, sexual, reproductive, and children’s health are especially negatively impacted by violent political conflict in these areas.
