My name is Gemechis Bizuayehu, and I recently completed the “Health in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies” course with a grade of 95.20%. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable knowledge and skills I have gained through this course. As a professional with a background in humanitarian aid and emergency response, I took this course to deepen my understanding of the critical health challenges and responses in complex humanitarian emergencies. The comprehensive modules, particularly those on defining complex humanitarian emergencies, identifying top priorities, and understanding the major actors involved, have significantly broadened my perspective and equipped me with practical skills that I can apply in my career. One of the aspects I loved most about the course was the detailed and engaging content, which was both informative and thought-provoking. The videos, readings, and quizzes were well-structured and provided a thorough understanding of the subject matter. I particularly appreciated the focus on real-world applications and the emphasis on data collection in emergencies. Thank you once again for your dedication and effort in delivering such a high-quality course. I look forward to applying what I have learned to make a positive impact in the field of humanitarian health. Warm regards, Gemechis Bizuayehu

An excellent introductory course to the field of health in complex humanitarian emergencies.

Thanks to all faculty and staff who worked on developing and delivering this course.

I wish the required readings were made available as part of the course's online materials since paid subscriptions to scientific journals are needed to access them.
