Abstract

The number of refugees across the world has jumped from 15.7 million to 34.6 million in the past 10 years, and their forced displacement situation remain for an average period of 20 years. To ensure sustainable benefits, health system strengthening through development cooperation should be a priority in parallel to humanitarian aid early on in refugee crises.
