Highlights
• Internal displacement due to conflict or violence can have profound health impacts.
• IDPs tend to experience worse health outcomes than other conflict-affected populations.
• That reflects the particular vulnerabilities of IDPs relative to these other populations.
• Health interventions need to take account of the specific vulnerabilities of IDPs.
