USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) is at the forefront of the humanitarian community’s efforts to reduce mortality and morbidity during crises by supporting a wide range of critical health interventions. USAID/BHA supports health initiatives during responses to humanitarian emergencies including life-saving medical assistance, pandemic readiness capacity-building, and pharmaceutical supply chain management. In recognition of the inextricable link between the health sector and other core humanitarian sectors, USAID/BHA supports integrated programs that address multiple determinants of health in emergencies, such as access to health facilities, psychological support and case management services, and safe drinking water, as well as treatment for wasting—the deadliest form of malnutrition.
