Title: The impact of war on child health in the countries of the former Yugoslavia
Description: 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.
