The impact of war on child health in the countries of the former Yugoslavia
The participants in the Workshop on the Impact of War on Child Health in the Countries of the Former Yugoslavia (the "Child Health Workshop") were doctors from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia, all of whom were knowledgeable about the situation of children in their own countries, and senior U.S. and European pediatricians drawn from academic and professional organizations. A common interest in the health and welfare of children provided the opportunity to put aside political differences in the interest of focusing on the state of child health and well-being in these countries that have experienced the political, economic, and social disruptions of war.
