Conflict as a macrodeterminant of non-communicable diseases: the experience of Libya

Abstract

It has been argued that peace and its reciprocal—conflict—are macrodeterminants of health. Nowhere has experienced greater\nconflict than the Middle East in recent decades. The experience of Libya offers potent lessons on the bidirectional relationship between peace and health that extend beyond the immediate violence-related\nhealth impacts of civil war.
