A Transdisciplinary Public Health Framework for Emergency Medical Response in Conflict Zones
Abstract
Armed conflicts and humanitarian disasters increasingly threaten global public health systems, often overwhelming local infrastructure and disrupting the delivery of essential services. This paper proposes a transdisciplinary public health framework tailored for emergency medical response in conflict zones, integrating medical, logistical, ethical, sociopolitical, and technological components into a unified response strategy. Grounded in a comprehensive literature review, the paper delineates key domains such as triage systems, rapid deployment protocols, culturally sensitive care, and inter-agency coordination. The framework emphasizes community engagement, digital innovation, and real-time data-driven decision-making to enhance preparedness, responsiveness, and equity. By bridging public health, emergency medicine, international law, and disaster management, this approach aims to guide future research, inform policy development, and support resilient health infrastructures in conflict-affected regions.
