Resumen

Pretendemos mejorar la comprensión de las necesidades sanitarias de los desplazados internos en contextos de conflicto o violencia. A partir de una revisión exhaustiva, nuestro documento identificó pruebas limitadas sobre la salud de los desplazados internos, pero, no obstante, indica que los desplazados internos tienden a experimentar peores resultados de salud que otras poblaciones afectadas por conflictos en una serie de problemas de salud; y esto se debe a la situación particularmente vulnerable de los desplazados internos en relación con estas otras poblaciones, incluido el acceso reducido a los servicios de salud. Es necesario seguir investigando para comprender mejor estas necesidades y las intervenciones que pueden abordarlas con mayor eficacia.
