This provisional version is intended to be used for extensive field test-ing during the second half of 2009 and first half of 2010, and feedback is sought from national health authorities and organizations providing health services in humanitarian crisis, especially those participating in health clusters or other health sector coordination groups at country and sub-national levels. Following a review process in the second half of 2010, a revised and up-dated edition of the Guide will be produced.
Please send comments and suggestions for improvements to the Global Health Cluster Secretariat at: healthcluster@who.int indicating “Feedback on health cluster guide” in the subject line.
