It features comprehensive coverage that includes details of key social, environmental, and cultural determinants.

Chapters highlight essential areas in the wellbeing and care of this population. These topics include women's health care, displaced and refugee women's health needs, childhood health, social and environmental causes of disease, health systems and health management, and a wide range of diseases of various body systems.

It will serve as an ideal guide for researchers in various biological disciplines, public health, and regulatory agencies.
