The Medical Consequences of the War in Iraq:
Health Challenges Beyond the Battlefield 
 

Saturday, October 21, 2006
8:30am Registration, 9:00 am– 5:30pm Program
Grand Ballroom, Ackerman Union, UCLA 

Americans have a general idea of how many American soldiers have died in
Iraq, but few know about the full medical consequences of this conflict.
This conference is the first opportunity to hear from medical and other
experts about the effects of the conflict on all those involved:
American troops and their families, and Iraqi citizens and their
families. Topics will include: modern life-saving techniques,
rehabilitation services available to disabled servicemembers, and
psychological effects of war, including stresses on families of service
men and women.

Epidemiologists will present information on the number of Iraqi people
killed and injured, the types of injuries suffered as a result of the
on-going conflicts, and the effects of war on the health and sanitation
infrastructures of countries subjected to the violence of war. A special
session will examine the enormous health dangers inherent in a possible
US intervention in Iran. This conference is designed for health
professionals and the general public.
