Zusammenfassung:Introduction: The aim of this situation analysis was to compare two phases, acute and post-acute, of disease epidemiology among refugees in the first 6 months (i) and a second 6 months post-acute (ii) period after displacement to an UNNCR camp within the Slovak Field Clinic. Patients and Methods: All together, 3,503 refugees appeared before an humanitarian team at a Mobile Clinic in Dohuk and Sinjar close to the transit border in Northwestern Kurdistan where about 1 million people were displaced after ISIS took over Mosul with its 3 million inhabitants.

Conclusion: Typical infectious in overcrowded camp populations such gastroenteritis, diarrhea, Hepatitis A, were absent in our group of refugees and migrants.
