TOP REVIEWS FROM HEALTH IN COMPLEX HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES
Good introductory course. Very short modules/lessons, but plenty of readings. Would have preferred a more advanced course, or sections that would go more in-depth and provide practicals.
The course covered the mains issues of a very complex topic in a very compact way, I have definitely extended my skills and knowledge! Thanks to the lecturers!
Brief but comprehensive. It's quite relevant to my job. Introduced frameworks are quite helpful to understand the basics of humanitarian response in CHEs.
This course is well organised and concrete for health care worker working in complex health emergency. It is tailored with key messages.
