  • Title: Humanitarian military medical mission in a postconflict environment: lessons from Cambodia.
    Author: Hubner ME, Ditzler TF.
    Journal: Public Health; 2004 Sep; 118(6):421-5. PubMed ID: 15313595.
    Abstract:
    In the aftermath of a genocidal civil war, the Government of Cambodia is left with major deficiencies in its healthcare system. This article recounts a military medical mission to Cambodia; the authors describe the objectives of the mission and provide a summary of the lessons learned. Specific areas of concern include healthcare infrastructure, logistics, standards of care, social traditions, organizational issues and potential problems in civil-military collaboration. This report is offered as a heuristic device to illuminate some of the issues that can mediate the success of military medical missions in postconflict environments.
