This website has been designed to try to help people making decisions about health care in the aftermath of natural disasters and other emergencies. The topics have been identified as priorities by people in affected regions, and relate to treatments that might be used or available. Where possible, a summary has been prepared, based on one or more Cochrane reviews.

Information on the treatment and prevention of malnutrition and other nutritional problems is also available from the World Health Organisation website. Click here for a list of relevant publications and access to those publications.

If you would like to comment or ask questions relating to nutrition, please email reviews@cochrane.org.
