When disaster strikes, assessing health needs and implementing relevant relief assistance is vital. The specific skills needed for an effective response are complex and efforts are required at many levels within a country to ensure skills are built and developed.
Building emergency relief skills requires not only technical health training but also education in emergency preparedness and response. In collaboration with other NGOs and Public Health based organizations, LIFE is reaching out to the people who need these services the most by working with locals and non-governmental groups.
