Overview of Report
Health Clusters and partners are often facing challenges in humanitarian settings. COVID-19 has intensified pressures and worsened resource constraints forcing difficult decisions on how and what assistance to provide. The tool provides insights on key ethical concepts, some simple steps and key questions to ask when supporting staff who are facing ethical dilemmas and must make difficult decisions based on competing needs and scarce resources. The tool helps link the role of frontline health care workers, health cluster partners and the health cluster as a whole to collaboratively face challenges. It also provides a case study from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh and links to other key resources.
